Pale Man Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Bit of a brag, a few years ago now. This snapper was very skinny and 110cm long. Weighed at 12.5 kilo. I reckon it was underfed. Should have weighed a lot more at that length. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice catch Paley, I bet that went well for a few meals, Snapper cutlets on the barbie are excellent IMO. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, a lot of fillets from that fish. I fillet my snapper ( well I used to when I could catch them ). Then bread crumb or beer batter. Beautiful, thick tasty white flesh. A lot of people dont like the taste of bigger snapper, its probably because the fish wasn't looked after straight after being caught. I bleed my fish straight away, and go on a seawater ice slurry. Keeps them fresh as a daisy and in tip top condition. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When is the ban being lifted? seems like ages anyone caught a snapper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riddled. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I suppose it's for the best, don't want to overfish the planet. Be worth waiting for I reckon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Government have to severely restrict professional long lining in both Gulfs, or even no more long lining ever again. They've gone years now without relying on a snapper income. Also reduce recreational bag limits to one big snapper over 60 cms, and five snapper between 38 - 59 cms per person.....which is half of what it used to be. That's plenty of fish. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without trying to look like I'm full of it, thats not my biggest fish. I caught one over 14 kilo years ago, and that was from the shore with a surf rod and alvey reel. Caught quite a few in my boat over 13 kilo. Snapper fishing was a passion of mine. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done mate, great to see someone with a passion for fishing and even better when ya can land fish as big as that. Dips me lid to you mate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Man Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 As I get older i sort of feel really bad keeping these big beautiful fish. They are breeders and the bigger snapper are around 20 - 30 years old. I treat every fish with total respect. They go on sea water ice slurry straight away and hopefully with no suffering, and sleep. When i go crabbing, my crabs get the same treatment. I think now if i caught a big snapper I'd have to let her go to live another day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
