If that makes pic of the month it will get my vote. Good to see the livey payed off and it's a tribute to your fishing skills to wait until it was swallowed to set the hooks.
thanks everyone it wasnt off the rocks or boat but it was landbased it didnt fight very hard at all it was a bit of a let down when i saw how big it was
to get the best taste out of a fresh fish is to simply dust the fillet in flour and into a pan with a bit of butter or marg, then if you realy have to add anything just a bit of lemon pepper seasoning will do the job
bit hard to fit whole on the barbie, hehe, normally smaller ones, 2-3kg love just whole on the barbie with abit of fragrant rice in his cavity (rice ginger chilli corriander) doesnt overpower the sweet snapper and gives you a nice side dish to some of the best tasting meat in the sea.. my wife likes a really crispy coating on her fish, so i sometimes use raw polenta like you would flour.. just dust it in the polenta and shallow fry til cooked.. serve with a fresh tomato basil onion and olive salad...
If you havent already, get some fish coating from a shop close to you, used it for my herring and they tasted beaut. also tried with snapper and they taste twice as good.

That is one of the biggest pinks I've seen,
Mate that is a trophy anywhere (boat or LB).

WELL DONE MATE.

from a potentially unreliable source that the ASI has delivered a couple of snapper over the last couple of nights.

cracker like that
bit hard to fit whole on the barbie, hehe, normally smaller ones, 2-3kg love just whole on the barbie with abit of fragrant rice in his cavity (rice ginger chilli corriander) doesnt overpower the sweet snapper and gives you a nice side dish to some of the best tasting meat in the sea.. my wife likes a really crispy coating on her fish, so i sometimes use raw polenta like you would flour.. just dust it in the polenta and shallow fry til cooked.. serve with a fresh tomato basil onion and olive salad...

Fudge!!
Just saw the pic. I wasn't expecting one that big!
Well done, that is a capture to eclipse anything I have ever caught, and to do it land based is awesome. Great effort, you must be stoked.
