Struth!
That's a big orange gobbler! I've seen the teeth on one half that size, and they were scary!!
Great Fish!

Great landbased catch there
That's a nice looking spot there. Looks like fairly deep water close in.

Other side of the bite
Now and then we catch a one on our deep water snapper drops in SA either around Wedge Island, out from Kangaroo Island or on the West Coast of Eyre Pen. Not caught in either of SA's gulfs that I'm aware of (shallower and not as many natural reefs). All the ones I have seen have been around the same size which would be similar to that one if not a tad smaller (can't say I've seen one any bigger).
That's a cracker considering the location off the rocks.
Well done

We Never weighed it, we
We Never weighed it, we should have but cleaning of the fish is easier to do at the rocks, saves lugging them back up the hill..

Fantastic Harlies!
As others have said, especially off the stones. I've caught a few around Albany, but near that size - GREAT catches!
