Dame Kiri Te Kanawa Is Quite The Fisherwoman!
4:11PM Jess McGuire | Did you know that Dame Kiri Te Kanawa was a fishing enthusiast? No, neither did I. But she is, and she just reeled in one hell of a fish.

Dame Kiri Te Kanawa won’t have to sing for her supper for a while. On Wednesday, the Kiwi diva caught a 217kg blue marlin in the seas off Cape Brett in the Bay of Islands.
217kg blue marlin? Christ almighty – that’s nearly a Biggest Loser contestant!

McNaughty Cops A Wet One, Casts Her Net A Little Wider, Fishes For Compliments, Etc

Well, in “slow news day” news, McNaughty has taken time out from her extremely busy schedule to add another LINE to her ROD and REELED IN a winner: appearing in a promotional DVD stuck to the cover of this month’s Modern Fishing magazine!
The promotional video sees “Estuary Erin”, as her friends call her, wet a line with Sydney model Dan Trotter and his fishing mate Dan Burgess on a recent boating adventure near Coffs Harbour.
The fisherwoman surprised her hosts with her knowledge of tackle – not the type used by her footy boyfriend Braith Anasta.
Not much we can add to that, really, other than “Boom, boom!” More »
