A good day of fishing has three elements - good friends, a good catch and a good story.
And WA recreational fisher Ben Willmott bagged a trifecta on Wednesday when he and his mates caught their bag limits of dhufish in tranquil waters off the coast of Moore River, north of Perth.

Ben Willmott filmed what he thought was a great white shark in the Moore River while fishing.
With enough fun and fish in the bag, they were pulling up a large cuttlefish at the end of their trip when they spotted something very big moving through the water.
"This huge Great White came up after the cuttlefish and swam up right close to the boat," Mr Willmott told WAtoday.
"I kept telling the boys don't throw any bait overboard, don't waste it! We were having so much luck with the dewies - we had to throw a lot of them back because of the bag limit. That's probably what attracted the shark," he said.
