12.25kg snapper NOW WITH PHOTO

[banshee]

My eyes must be failing me,that looks more like a Heath Zygnerski than a David Green,nice Red though at that size I thought it would have been much uglier,I've often wondered if there was maybe two species of snapper and that the difference is not recognisable until they reach a larger size.The Long Spined Snapper I believe is a seperate species as oposed to a sub species,anyone know if a study has been done on the southern Snapper?

Recent studies indicate that the lump and ugly head is actualy a desease - some get it worse than others and Kiwi snapper don't get it at all.

You might want to check on the validity of those photo's.
I'm a good mate of Daves and in the past have done some airbrushing of his fish foto's to look more impressive in the stainless workshop.
In all seriousness, Dave's pics are usually genuine...it's his old man Geoff that needs airbrushing assistance with the guppy's he usually catches.
I also just called him on the phone to congratulate him on the fish....note that he will only answer the phone to "Snapper Legend" now !
