First Snapper on soft plastic

After an unsuccessful trip out to the southern bank of Rotto, Nick and I decided to look for the Salmon in the Sound. During this session I caught my first decent Snapper on soft plastic.

I managed to go for an unplanned swim to retrieve my prescription sunnies in the process - see YouTube clip

The only vice I have and the missus does not mind. Missus knows that I cannot get up to too much mischief whilst fishing.
