Video: 'Big fish... Big, big fish!'

A BORDER angler has become a local YouTube hit after filming himself land a monstor Murray cod at Lake Mulwala.

Cameron Wilson, of Yarrawonga, couldn't hide his excitement when he caught the 112-centimetre fish on his first cast with a camera attached to his head.

"I have been copping a fair bit for my commentary but all in good humour so far," Mr Wilson told.

"It’s a bit hard to come up with something in the boat on your own when a once in a lifetime chance happens on camera."

The big, 80-pound catch was a long time coming for Mr Wilson, who had been aiming for a one-metre cod for two years.

"My previous best was 89cm," Mr Wilson said.

The video received more than 1500 over the weekend, proving very popular among the region's angling community.
