IF he’s not on the football field, you’re most likely to find Nic Naitanui reeling in a big fish somewhere off the WA coast.

The West Coast Eagles high-flyer was at it again on Thursday, sharing his latest catch to more than 60,000 Twitter followers.

Two days after returning from the Eagles’ community camp in Kalgoorlie, Naitanui was on a boat off the WA coast with a sizeable shark in his hands.

“Scaring all the fish away,” he tweeted with the hashtag #perthfishing.

It’s not the first time we’ve seen Nic Nat’s fishing antics during the summer.

He and teammate Mark LeCras showed off their dhufish while on a fishing trip last month in Cervantes, about 200km north of Perth.

The athletic talent looks set for another big year, if his pre-season is anything to go by.

“I think I’ve been hindered in the past, especially leading into pre-season where I couldn’t partake in the full pre-season,” Naitanui said last month.

“But last year and this year I’ve done the majority of the work ... so I’m looking forward to the NAB (Challenge) games and the season proper not too far ahead.”

Naitanui said the club was hungry for redemption after a horror grand final day against AFL powerhouse Hawthorn last season, losing by 46 points to hand the Hawthorn its third straight premiership.

And with recruits like Sydney Swans premiership speedster Lewis Jetta impressing since arriving at the club, another run deep into September is a huge possibility.

“For us, we didn’t really see it as a successful year, you want to win it,” Naitanui said.

“That’s our main objective this year, it makes us so much hungrier.

“We lost a few guys through the trade period, but we’ve gained a few additions. The likes of Lewis Jetta will love running around Subiaco this year.

“We’re excited and looking for a bit of redemption, but it all starts in Round 1.”

West Coast’s NAB Challenge opener is against Adelaide Crows at Unley Oval on February 21, just 10 days away.

The club’s first ‘home’ game is against Gold Coast Suns at Joondalup’s HBF Arena on March 3, followed by the highly-anticipated clash against Essendon at Subiaco Oval on March 13.
