Simon i have seen you guys on the water several times now and finally you are rewarded for your efforts.Congratulations on the snapper you did well to boat such a great speciemen on the light gear.Must be good quality those TT hooks!!!You equal my best snapper caught in the bay on a plastic.Mine must have been overweight because it went 80cms and 6.2 kilo.Mate you caught it 2 weeks early.That would be a great fish for the River to Mud on a plastic.Cheers Brent

You know, I thought it would have been in the 6 kg range, my brother got an 80cm fish from Harries last year that went over 6kg, but when I had another look at those pics, the body on his fish was a lot thicker. But hey I'm not complaining with my 5.77kg! Still grinning! I'm sure there's one this size swimming around for a lucky angler in the RtoM. Good luck guys!


Also, thanks to Brian(Scalem) for his help with the animated avatar, cheers mate.

Mate - thats an awesome fish and you looked stoked! Well done. I dont think you mentioned the kg of your main line?

Cheers

Good feeling when you can lift its head and its running faster than the boat. Mine was 8 weeks ago and i am missing that fight and hoping for another like yours. Mine was 82cm but yours is the same size on our 4000 spinners. Good fish. Well i bet you were shaking before you put min in the net (i was by myself and shaking like a leaf and had to sit down for a minute before netting him cause of shock)

True, main line is 15lb fins, so a bit more than the 12lb leader. I also forgot to mention that it was a midday capture.

Yeah gives you the shakes alright , especially just before the netting, is it going to power off again?
