Butt ugly Snapper

[Tim_N]

Hi All,
Went out again on Wed arvo for another go at the Knobbies on SP's and managed 3. They went 9 lb, 11 lb and 15.5 lb, however the heaviest one was the ugliest Snapper I've ever caught. Check out the nose in particular.
For not such a large fish, it had a really good bump and a bad snout. Having said that, it chewed very nicely, thank you very much.
All fish were caught on the same 7" nuclear chook Gulp on a 1 oz 7/0 Nitro jighead. So for 1 $2.50 SP, it was a good afternoon.
My reliable Egrell Bear S4 and 2500R Custom Certate was the weapon of choice. Leader was once again 16 lb Triumph flurocarbon.
A head only a mother could love in a couple of different angles.

Excellent table fish Tim. That's reel good economy on the chooks too. You have to be pleased with those stats.

What did the others do while you were catching all the good fish?

There was 3 onboard and one of the guys, who was a non believer in SP's, used bait. This other guy caught 1 x 26 cm Moses Perch and about 10 various underized fish for the outing. Barry, the other ugly specimen in the pic, caught a real nice Grassy and I got the rest.
The non believer has now gone shopping. The non believer didn't want a photo with his big Moses when the other pics were taken. Funny that. The non believer could not believe his eyes. He said the first one was a fluke, but by the time the third one came over the side, he was convinced.

Good work, I guess taking that big boy would not have had any ill effects on the snapper spawning run as no female ones would go near him with a snoz like that anyways!!

Cheers,

Well done Timmy. Butt ugly for sure. Are you still working mate??

Yeah Scotty,
Still working, but when the weather is good, I'm gone, bugger it, life's too short. I reckon I'll be MIA this week too because I will be, umm ahh, in a meeting up the coast???
