    Default Monster snapper almost caught

    I went fishing at Tooradin, ( country) the other day
    and hooked a 7.58kg snapper. I got it about 20cm
    above the water line before it snapped the line and got
    away. I was using only a 3kg breaking strain.

    At 7.58kg it would have been the heaviest fish I had
    ever caught.

    Ah Watson but did he? "No pics - it didn't happen" relates specifically to fishing tales.

    You are right Noel ... I got one, (Fence Furniture).



    I knew it was exactly that weight because when I had
    it 20cms above the water I CHECKED THE SCALES ON IT'S BACK.

    "Gotcha".
