Who knows, i don't believe anything unless i see a pic anymore! Pretty sure you don't get too many over 20kg.

as in a snapper  if was 20 kg id believe that but not 30

I bet someone whips that picture of that monster from arno bay and claims it was from dunsborough again =)

OK.

"Pinkie" = Snapper.
I've seen them over 40lb in S.A. 30 yrs ago. Regulaly.
In my boat too. But the biggest I could ever lay claim to. was 39 and a leetle bit.

"Pinkies" up here in Q'Land. are Large mouth Nannigai.
and a 40lber of them would be a real biggie.

Great eating too.
I prefer them to Red's.. (Emperor). and trout.

that caught the 100kg barra in the Fitzroy was it?

Its true,,it was caught the day before i caught my 7.5 kg sand whiting,,

if they got into those 15 lb king george that r off the cape they usually school up with the 10 lb sandies on spot x  next to the end of the rainbow              30 lb snapp believable 30 kg got his hand on it

I have seen a 25kg pink snapper caught on a surface shark hook in the 7 footers off Cervantes. Nigel Cowie caught it.

I never saw it hang on the scales, so no real proof of weight but in the cray bag it hung a third out.  5.5 foot long

The old man took me round to see it. This was 10years ago now

Ive been tryiny to get my hands on the photo for a long time now but no luck.

Old skippers are bitter old pills and it will probly vanish in history knowing him.

will post up the co ords later when i get them off batman

account of dd83wa's Snapper - would have been mid 20lbs exagerated to 30lbs then someone said 30lbs and then chinese wispers made it 30kgs

Love the fishing community

Googled and found this

It could be a new Australian record for the biggest snapper caught in South Australia at Arno Bay area but caught by a victoria sadly..20kg its still being verifyed..

the guy said..."The initial weight of this fish was at 42lb but after checking the scales used to weigh it against 2 sets of salter scales & also doing a comparison with buckets of water at the local butcher shop with scales certified for trade use this fish weighed 44lb, yes 20kg. It is going to be mounted for all to see & once done will live on the wall at Hotel Arno for all to see.""

off fishwrecked so if they can get to a wopping 20kg whats 30kg ? be dam massive and rare also a pic should be out n about .. I wonder how heavy the one caught in franksont 1883 was.. could not find anything on it :(

ive got a pic of a 44pound arno bay snapper caught in 2008 i dunno how 2 post the pic in this thread so ill put it up in a new 1

i have a pic off a 30 kg pinkie on my computer ill load it up soon

30lb maybe but not 30kg. i wouldnt believe it unless i saw it weighed

me thinks
