I say nah without a way of scales since i highly doubt that a whiting rod would handle 15kg.

Edit: i just looked at my shakespear wild series whiting rod and its a 1 to 4kg rod that means that fish would be over its limit by 11 to 14kg's easly snapping a carbon rod.

Rod ratings refer to line class not fish weight.

That snaps might be 15 and we've just become so accustomed to people taking photos of their fish with ridiculous forced perspectives that we assume anything is about half the size it looks.

I've boated a 50kg ray on a 6kg rod with 12lb.. The reel has a drag for a reason.

Always hard to judge the size of a fish in a photo, here's a couple I caught back in my Snapper fishing day in 1973.

My ol' mate Billy (may he RIP) is holding them.. the one on the left went 13.7 kgs & the one on the right went 12.3 kgs..

Oh, they weren't taken on whiting gear either, snapper rods & overhead reels were the go in my boat fishing days when fishing for snapper..

There have been quite a few snapper taken on whiting gear for years, a lot of whiting fisho's in Sth Aust will use 12-15lb line or heavier for that very reason..
