Exmouth Red

Close up of Chad's Red Emporer. This was part of a double header, but the other fish (a Rankin) shook as I was taking the pic and sprayed water over the camera lens. This is the only bit I could salvage from the pic.

Below average
For what we were catching this one was a bit below average but still legal size.

Best eating!
Without me doing any check up on Red Emperor they can be caught in WA up to 15kg's give or take!
I saw a guy with a 12kg plus red that I weighed only a few days ago in Exmouth!
The best eating size reds are the smaller ones ie over legal size IMO, we caught a fair few last week on my boat in Exmouth ranging from just legal to 5/6kg's
Yum meeeeeee

Did you get a chance to fish out at Peak Island Ryan?
That's where we did best, and I think Adam and the boys did pretty well out there as well.
