Butters i did get the 15kg on 3kg braid. But i think the 12.2kg on 3kg pretest mono and the 3.9kg on sp and 1kg my first in the last two trips outdo the 15kg on braid ;) Its good fun having a go on the lighter line. And a Great feeling when you not only land a good fish but its on light line makes it more memorable {SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif cheers jon

Looks like we need a records section, so we can hold bragging rites until beaten, it might take a bit of working out how to get it set up, as there are many categories to consider, and of course a witness is more than likely needed, toss that one around boys and we will see what the results are :roll:

Have noticed that someone has already started the ball rolling on this idea, so thought I'd ad mine.12.1kg Snapper taken on 2kg Maxima Fibre Glow. Took 45min to land and came soon after boating a 13.1kg fish on the (light {SMILIES_PATH}/huh.gif) 10kg gear.@ addict nice local red m8. Bit hard to tell correct weight as your hlding the fish away from you but yeh reckon its around the 8kg mark. Spent a few cold dark hours out there myself on Sunday & Monday Mornings for a donut {SMILIES_PATH}/sad.gif. Reckon the water was too clear where I was fishing and should have ventured further.Reckon, the water will be dirtier this weekend and the afternoon tides look a cracker so maybe this weekend will make up for the last {SMILIES_PATH}/rolleyes.gif

cheers, beautiful looking fish your one hey, love lookin at it. notice how the fins are light blue? my pro mate says that only comes on fish that have been feeding/traveling over sand. as his fish at corny point look like that when they first inhabit the reefs early winter. they seam to darken over the reefs within a few days he said. as you know with your reefie reds you catch. any way just think it was a attractive fishie. {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gif oh yeah and that little bloke in the boat behind you is not bad either {SMILIES_PATH}/cheesy.gif

pete watts and i Managed this nice bag last fri night within casting distance of the beach, 10 all up with 4 over 60 biggest went 65, smallest round 53.

Was that the night we were with you? If so, you can thank us for getting rid of all those pesky snook so that the snapps could get to your baits :)

I took my old man fishing yesterday morning for snapper. I can't take him too far these days as he has a bad back and a pacemaker fitted so it has to be reasonably flat calm water to getout fishing. He was kept busy pulling in this lot of fish. It's good to share the time out on the water with family. Ended up bagging out with 10 below 60cm and 4 big fellas'... biggest went 16 poundPosted Imageand here's a nice pic of snapper holding up baitfish against the structurePosted Image
