Stop - snapper time!

I managed to pick up this lovely snapper off the rocks down south on the weekend.  We bagged 4 off the rocks with the biggest going 48cm.  I also managed to pick one up in the nearby estuary on 2kg gear which went about 43.  I also lost one on the 2kg gear that would have gone over 50cm! Got him to my feet and when I went to pick him up he straightened the tiny snap lock I had on the lure and took off. 

These are the first few decent fish I ahve caught in a while so I was pretty stoked with it!!
