Shroom

I am a fishing creator from Australia and credited by mainstream media (e.g, ABC, 9, 7, 10 etc.) as the person behind the 'FishTok' movement which is about getting young Australians involved in fishing. I hosted the first FishTok event in conjunction with TikTok Australia and the NSW Government on 10 July 2025.

FishTok is the youth fishing movement that exploded on TikTok, a cultural shift where young Aussies started getting off their screens, and heading out with rods, mates, and phones to film their adventures. It’s not just fishing content; it’s a whole identity built around outdoor freedom, exploration, and community.

As to my role, I never tried to claim it; but through my content its reach and positive effect they were having in moulding the youth culture that it was the community and TikTok that decided I was the one running FishTok long before I ever said a word about it. Which is likely why it’s now being recognised by mainstream media and the government.
