doesnt look 20kilo but hey who knows

What a cracking fish.  You are right Mako, it sounds much more impressive when you read about it than see it on the vid. I was expecting the old man know but still, what an impressive fish!

A big fish for sure, looks 15kg plus.....always hard to tell.....stonka fish regardless!

" " alt="20kg snapper" border="" hspace="" vspace="" width="" height="" align="bottom" />It is hard to tell for sure from a photo or video.I know the area well, and the guy involved I think helps run charter service and that whole region from Port Neil to  Port Agusta is the best fishing for snapper with people coming all over Australia for the comp at Whyalla. Ive caught snapper at 90cm weighing at 9kg and then caught one at 95cm thinking it would be around 10 or 11 kg no to my suprise it was 14.5kg or its no suprise for me..cheers not sure why the double image sorry..lol

those pics give a much better angle of the fish!!! huge!!!

luke

fish for fun, the future, and the belly!!!

agree there luke, makes it look more like 20kg, that video done the fish no justice

I agree, whatever it weighed, that is one VERY BIG snapper! Wow!

Colin

Gives you a better perspective. It is massive. I wonder how old a snapper like that would be?

 They say it would be about 40-60 year old colin. I thought they same luke just looking at the shoots and video but I do know the guy wouldn,t make it up. It was a strange weekend over their in in that region there had been three fish in that week where all caught and weighed 37 - 44lb amazing I dont have pic of ther other two yet.

There,s a fine line between fishing and standing around looking like an Idiot!

wow some big fish being caught, one thing i want to know is why is the anglers face blacked out in the pics, fair enough the boat rego but hey if i caught that i would be showing my face everywhere thats for sure

 sorry mako i did the spaying..lol..I edited like this because of copy write laws from the site i got it from. cheers

Hey guys

thats not the 20kg snapper in the above pic, it's actually 19kg caught near whyalla same weekend as the 20kg snapper caught at Arno Bay early in may.

it really was 20kg.

this pic is of 2 fish taken from the same school, 1 nearly 17kg & the other 20kg, you can see the why the difference in weight in this pic.

cheers

Top snapper and great pics to go with, looks like you boys have been doing well over there!

OK, packing my bags and going job hunting in South Australia.....

nice fish and well done chaps. Good to see they fight them on "lightish" gear as well. That one rod was bent almost to breaking point!!!
