Nice Golden Snapper Tony, beautiful eating.
28lbs? Nice girth on it but I'm not sure if its 13-13.5 kg.

skippers scales
skippers scales is all we had to go by, fat at the girth and 78cm in length. I agree it did not feel like 13kg, but I'll stick with the lie-detector measure in the foto..lol

Gotta agree
Think you should buy the skipper some new scales as a thankyou. :) Definately not 13kg there, but, one solid fish all the same!!
