james7 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 WOW! Great fish stephan1979! Well done mate. What a way to end the day after getting nothing! By the way, that snapper is only about 5kg bigger than my best! What bait were you using and did you get him on the bottom? Great report Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim77 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 hi guys went for a fish at the peak two weeks ago fished all day got jack but the last half hour got on to a snapper 5.5kg that made my day Nice fish mate? Were you on a charter out there? (Looks like it from the pic) I fish the Peak a fair bit - just interested to know how you got it. From the looks of your rig maybe bottom bouncing with bait. Can you give us a few more details. Cheers Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamtime Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Look at the lump on its melon That's a bloody beaut snapper, mate. Hodgey Yeh, next time don't hit it so hard with the bat! Gotta be pleased with that result though. Well done on a great knobhead. Specimens of that dimenture definately warrant a mention. During the fight, what were your expectations? What species were you contemplating was on the end of your line? Great effort and congrats on a fine capture. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
