Battered snapper anyone?

Living a life in the kelp has left this twenty pound Far North snapper battered and discoloured, but it still managed to put up a great scrap for Jack Worthington who took this selfie withb his trophy catch.

Jack was soft-bating off the rocks when the fish took a Daiwa Bait Junkie 7” BP Iwashi lure.
