Last place in the snapper beauty contest!!!

[Careel]

Just thought I'd post a pic of a very ugly snapper one of my customers caught on our charter off the Gold Coast on Sunday. If snapper have a circus down there this old bloke was definitely the clown. He was one of about 13 caught, 2 at 7.5 kg with the rest between 2-4kg among a mixed bag of other species.
I've thought long and hard but I think he is the ugliest we've caught, I'm sure there is worse out there, Maybe if you've got a photo you can post it for us all to see.

Damn....no fishing for me for a week :'(

[Poodroo]

Wow. You sure weren't kidding there. ;D They say the beauty comes from within though and if you can't see past it's ugliness then pass him my way and I am sure I will find some inner beauty once I start cooking up the fillets. ::)

Speechless.........

Couldn't have gotten lips like that from suckin squid.

Interesting to know how old it was.

[Slient]

Prehaps faulty snapper... ;D
Look out head is almost half weight to body...

He is definately well equipped to bust food of the reef. I can imagine a lot of crabs are now a lot less stressed with him no longer pestering them..

Wonder if Rex would have kissed it? ;D ;D ;D

If you treat every situation like a life or death matter, be prepared to die a lot of times.

[chicken]

i reckon his head weighs more than his body. no wait it would have to be another snappers mother in law wouldn't it with a head like that?

[Adamy]

Hmmm all the good jokes are taken >:( .... bet you didnt kiss that ugly mug! Thanks for sharing ;)

[SURF_SNIPER]

underwater two big knobs like that may mean he is a tot stud....... maybe all the others are just plain janes ;D

[capt]

Lone Wolf..... Great comparison ! I got quite a giggle out of that one .........Reg Jimmy

[roz]

His mummy probably thought he was beautiful.

Does anyone know why southern snapper don't, or at least very rarely, have those big bumps on their heads?

By south I mean southern NSW and further down.

[major-defect]

You know how kids with big feet end up being tall well maybe he just had to grow into that face grow a lot a real lot.

[stalker]

I HAD 2 LOOK TWICE I THOUGHT IT WAS MY MOTHER IN LAW..

[R_K_HILL]

Looks like one of those guys out of the golden child (Eddie Murphy). I wouldn't eat him though (the bloke out of golden child, the one who mans the cage)!!

[rickraider]

UGLY BUGGER ;D ;D ;D ;D

[Gbanger]

ahahahah atleast fillets dont look ugly

it actually looks pissed off in that first picture..

[Angla]

Looks like he chased too many parked wrecks.

I believe down south the snapper do not have the same knobs as they feed in different manners, on different foods.

This fish was spotted being released from that last Yankee warship to visit Brisbane. The top hump/dome is a satellite communications antenna and the front proboscis is the sonar unit.
Be afraid, be very afraid. Big Brother is watching! ;)
