Local superstar Jesseca Mauboy has this week hit the headlines after being snapped with quite the catch about 140km from Darwin in the Northern Territory. Aboard the Dundee Explorer, on a chartered fishing trip, the pop star caught at least two fish, the largest being the one pictured.

Why is it a big deal? Mauboy is big news, after an action packed few years on the world stage as a singer, actress and model, she’s now getting back to nature a little, and chose to start by heading home to Darwin.

Born in the Northern territory and raised in Darwin as a child, the twenty five year old superstar said she missed Australia after being on the road for the last several years:

“Every day I miss Darwin life. I don't get to go home as much as I'd like to but I carry the Darwin spirit with me. I don't think anyone could take the spirit of Darwin out of me and yes, I really miss it every day.”

What better way to enjoy the top end, than to get on the water, drop a line in and haul in one of these beauties.
