Tā Hamuera Pūrākau Tuna

Sam’s Eel Story

It all started back in the 80’s….

Watch this video to hear where where the inspiration for Sam’s first tuna came from.

Discover the full story of his fishing adventures with the Paku whānau…

Check out this beautiful doco by the Lake Stories Project celebrating Wairarapa Moana Kete Pūrākau, Stories of Lake Wairarapa.

***Sam and Matt’s story starts about 9:45 mins into the video but the kōrero by Taiawhio Gemmell, Joseph Potangaora, Teresa Aporo and Mahia Mikaeira are also wonderful so we recommend you watch it from the start.
