Bagged out with Snapper

 Took the kids down to the Recfishwest snapper release this morning to see the little snappers on there merry way.

Told these little fellas were just 110 days old, only 5 years more for legal size and to make to my dinner plate. lol

 Good work to you and your boys! 

I'm sure they will grow up to be very keen and responsible fishermen. Hope the boys had heaps of fun releasing MY future dinner! Lol
