Exmouth Pics!!!!!!!!!

Hey all, first trip out of Exmouth on our working holiday we finally got out after 3 weeks!!!!!  we headed out of the marina to about 70 metres of water out of the islands, first drift we got 1 Red and a nor-west snapper.     2nd drift same again but the biggest red i have ever seen or caught!!!  unforunately no scales but my guesstemation is around 19kg. 3rd drift another Red and yet again another snapper..and while all this is going on my floater out the back pulled me my mackeral!!!  good for my first trip very happy!!!!!
 
p.s   Trying to find the record for the biggest Red ...  he was 90 cm long but didnt get a weight ....  as you can see he is the full length of the ice box.  The milk bottle beside him is a 3L one!!!!
 More pics to come just have to get them off the phone!!!!

NOHA is pretty close to the mark, 90cm would be roughly 11-13kg mark.
