A lifelong professional fisherman is still braving rough seas in a tiny old trawler at the ripe old age of 100.
Santo knows the Hawkesbury River better than anyone, having been on the water for much of his life as a dedicated commercial fisherman.
He continues to head out on the waters of Broken Bay north of Sydney with his son Robert, 71, two nights a week as his 101st birthday in November approaches.
