Here's a snapper that I caught from my brothers trailer boat last Wednesday (Anzac Day).
They are relatively common around the southern Australian coastline but are generally not quite this large.
It went just shy of 30lbs.
Caught it using 15lb mono with a whole squid head for bait in about 50' of water.
One of the best eating fish in the sea IMO.

Great looking fish Avatar! In our Gulf of Mexico, that fish would be called a Red Porgy or nicknamed White Snapper. Males have the high forehead and are referred to as bulls. Congrats, I've never seen one that large. LDK

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."
