Nice fish there.

I don't mean to be a killjoy but can I respectfully suggest that you invest in a pair of suitable gloves so that you can put your thumb in the mouth and get a jaw grip of fish that are to be released. Supporting themwith the other hand while you gently swim them boatside will greatly improve their chances of survival when compared to holding them around the gill area.

point taken on the gloves , and yes it was a good fight made all the more diificult getting blown into the wharf but patience was the key in this little battle , hopefully some good snapper footage when we hit the reefs off Old Bar at xmas cheers and "Merry Xmas to all Raiders " Mark
