Jeez mate, how can ya say it was a huge snap, and not even tell us how big it was ? how many cm's or kg's ? Got a pic ? Not doubting ya, just keen to know how big.

[frenzy]

Nice catch, I think???

[ddobson]

I hope you have a pick cause you made a big statement like that being a 19 kilo got caught a few months ago and was damb near the length of the guys body. Having said that a big snapper is a big snapper and boy what a fight they put up till you net the big buggers. Well done boyz.

[abbot_86]

awsome report mate, very detailed

[Seahorse]

I nearly got a monster few months ago. sorry i dont have the pics, but it was big.
i played it for an hour. i ran out of line.
Does that sound impressive.

[Kleyny]

WOW.

What a catch i wish i could get one that big.

[juju]

Now i now what was cleaning me up last time out at Mud...there must have been a few about...looked like it......and i was flicking LIme Tigers as well !!

I caught a 22kg snapp the other day at the compass bouy and I was using a 2kg whiting as live bait on my 4lb gear it took me 5mins to land and I had no net. so I tail grabed it and pulled it into the boat. I started taking photos on my camera when a dugong came and bumped into the side of my boat this made me lose my balance fall and knock myself unconcious. I came good about 5min later only to see a pirate ship sailing off in the distance and guess what they stole my camera and took my fish. to cut a long story short I think my fish was bigger than yours flynny... CHEERS BRENDAN


p.s you should have seen it. It was HUGE.... HONEST.

[chief]

Now you know why I keep fishing the river, to many bloody pirate ships out in morteon bay.

[flynny15]

ok ok now i have everyone watching if i can figure out how to get the pic downloaded it will be on here, by the way it was one of the best days i have ever fished in brisbane or anywhere in fact.

[snagking]

well.....

Hurry up or everyone will go INSANE :D

[flynny15]

ok pics are up

[tunaticer]

pretty deep bodied snap there what weight did he go?? doesnt look any longer than about 80cmish.

[flynny15]

iam not sure what size he was but it dwarfed my 80cm red fish ruler, i would say he was almost a 1meter if not just over, that trevalley was big and he was alot smaller than the snappper, he almost busted the landing net and i have caught and seen alot of snapper but never one that big u had to be there he didnt look real...

[RAT-KING]

Well done thats a great fishing session!!!
Cheers Simon

[wags on the water]

nice mixed bag flynny. It's ashame people don't believe you until pics are up.
Great catch

[BILLY THE KID]

who owns the feet in the thongs :D

measure the thongs and go roughly three times the length and you have a rough estimate of length

[DAVE_S]

Iam not a doughting thomas ,that is one old man snapper well done .

[Marlin_Mike]

I nearly got a monster few months ago. sorry i dont have the pics, but it was big.

Liar Liar pants on fire. ::) I was anchored 3 and a half feet of your port bow watching ya. You wouldnt have played it for an hour, ;) wouldnt have been anymore than 50 maybe 55 minutes. ;D i videoed it all, but damn that bloody pirate ship stole it when i wasnt looking.:P

Good report mate, big snap!

Cheers, Mick.

[Chong]

Nice snapper, well done...but the can we see a pic of the whole boat, stern looks diffrent to the cabin area::) , maybe its the joy kicking in... any way good fish

[slyman]

A stonker snapper indeed! well done mate!

[ddobson]

It is a good snapper in deed well done boys thats a good catch there for one day. Thank god for the photos or we thought it was 2 metres long or something as i have photo of the largest documented one at 70 pound hung up like a shark and thought you had beaten that. It is definately the best fish on plastic for me to catch for shure. Cheers

[Jeremy]

i have photo of the largest documented one at 70 pound hung up like a shark

I would like to see that

Jeremy

[flynny15]

like i said i dont think i will see one bigger wished we had something to weigh it with and a bigger measuring tape..... anyway it was a awesome day, the trevalley where caught somewhere else but the rest of them where in the one area just drifting with plastics.... and they where all caught around 10:30 -11:30 am. except for the trevalley.

[legsy11]

ive seen that picture or the 70 pound snapper.was cuaght on a set line by a pro in new zealand i think back in the 50's or 60's.big fish ,maybe it is the true grandaddy snappa

[Saltdoggy]
