    Default Off the hook

    A mate and I went fishing near Black Rock and
    I was using just a 2kg breaking strain line.

    I hooked a snapper and was hauling it in and just
    got to have a brief look at it when the line snapped.

    It weighed exactly 5.3kg ... it would have been the
    best snapper I have ever caught.

    Thank you to the chaps who asked the
    inevitable question of how I knew the weight
    when it had dropped off the hook.

    Answer: I checked the scales on it's back
    in the brief look I had at it.

    Gotcha!

    Before I answer - what is the penalty if I say "Yes" or "No"
    to some of them.
