I'm putting up a FISH FINDER TM Satellite DVD prize and How to Catch Barramundi DVD up for best picture of a personal best snapper ... need five entries and I'll make the draw.

Didn't get it in SA,but in Port Phillip Bay in Melbourne. It weighed 14lb,that's my pb for them. I remember it slowly picking up the bait and the rod bending over slowly,it was typical of an eagle ray,then it SCREAMED off!! Burnt my thumb. Still thought it was ray,until I got it back towards the boat.Never had one run that hard before.

This is not the biggest snapper i have encountered but the one i remember the most as it was on 6lb line 300m from the boat ramp so as far as line class to weight goes it is a personal best.

I reckon AJM41 wins it - please PM your postal AJM41 and I'll send the prize.

Great snapper pix all, well done. I miss the old pinkies.
