I went out with a couple of mates off the Goldy Tuesday morning on the hunt for snapper. We worked a few marks we had, for a few trag, and a little snapper. Between marks, we came across a little bump that was loaded with bait. As we dropped down Marc's 7" Jerkshad got smashed, he struggled to get the bail arm over, with line ripping off so fast. When he got it over the fish ran hard, on 10lb fireline and 20lb leader it took him into something on the bottom and bricked him.
A little patience and luck and the fish came free, a nervous few minutes fight and it was in the net. High fives all round!
She went 80cm on the mat, a new PB for Marc. It was a really solid snapper! we were all stoked, especially Marc! It was a great morning in top conditions and that fish certainly made our day. Pink shine strikes again, the jighead was a 1/2 Oz Nitro.
Back home on the digital scales it went 7.34kg, Cracking fish!
Gotta get back out there and try again to get one myself!
Cheers,
Matt
