should we start the heated debate on the ID of that fish? not a putty nose perch? lol
 

You're obviously tired from the big day, like me.

I know Hamish is growing quickly, but I’m not sure his hands are quite that big!

I really need to get some new glasses. Just realised you said 48mm, not 48cm. Lol.

There’s no limit to the depths Team South with go, is there? Now they have to depend on their young’uns to try and pull off a win for them! I don’t blame Hamish. He couldn’t help it if he was born on the wrong side of town.

No brag mat photo… doesn’t count… 😛
how do we know it really wasn’t 48mm?

Well, it’s with great disappointment that I need to stoop to the level of submitting this. 
Threadfin Salmon, 5cm.

Rick Hughes team south brown bass 52cm. Looks like a tandan but Rick never catches them.🤭

Hey! That’s the one I threw back.

Another cod, 26.5cm, team north

Cod team north 26cm

@ellicat today enlightened me to the fact that I am not limited to one entry per category! In light of this…
tailor 44cm and 38.5cm team north

Hey, @christophagus, I think we need to update the board. 🙂
 

Mulloway 95cm. Caught it on my mates boat today and the only blue thing handy was the rope. Also didn’t have a measuring device long enough but did a rough measure by holding the finger at the 80cm mark and then measuring that last bit to the tail. 

Not a big one, but will knock @benno573 and team north off the snapper leaderboard. 

Snapper for the Southside, it was just short of the 815mm esky lid, I’ll leave it up to Chris to examine photos and determine a final length 👍

Three whiting upgrades for team south 
1.420mm
2.400mm
3.400mm

By strange coincidence I literally just finished reading that article. My sister in Mt Isa sent a link. Not from a river though. These big girls were caught in the artificial lake at the Isa which is a stocked impoundment. 

Couple of them could tow a kayak from Sandgate to Moreton I'd reckon.

Just found this on ABC News, 1.4 metre Barra caught in river!

what i use to do 9 years ago when i was 5 or 6 i use to cut the head off of fresh squid and put a whole pilchard in the hood, have a sliding sinker and a sliding hook with one tied at the bottom, for big snapper it was great. (that was in New Zealand not sure how it will work here.)
Edit: Sorry did not see the same thing above

Pilchards. 
Squid. 
 
Pillies can be sent down in half or whole. 
If you have large Californian squid you can then shove a pillie up the squid tube and rig it the same way as you do a whole pillie. 
It's called a (male genitalia that rhymes with rock) in a sock. 
Red Hot Chili Peppers also did a concert dressed like this years ago. 
 
 
 
I say it to all people who ask. 
I have caught all my big snapper on soft plastics. 
5 inch shads. Popular brands found at the tackle shop at cooparoo. 
 
Cheers. 
 
 

Personally I’ve never caught big snapper before but I’d imagine using freshly caught baits such as white bait garfish or yellow tail would work alright. This sounds like a question for @Junky @Cobiaaddict  @ellicatand some others who have good experience with snapper . Can’t remember all the snapper fishos on AFO but there’s a fair few
