Bloody oath. They’re the ones you want. It seems that 90cm/8kg are generally the biggest people seem to get in WP and ppb. Are there many bigger ones around? Or are they more offshore?
From what I've seen anything 4-6.5kg is a nice fish, 6.5kg-7.5kg is a good fish, 7.5kg-8.5kg it's a stonka/horse, 9kg's and you have hit the elusive 20lbs snapper mark.

I believe they can be found in WP.... but not on my hooks (yet).
Bloody oath. I’ve got a 90, not sure if ill get one bigger, who knows.
90 is an absolute beauty mate. I have seen bigger but longer doesn’t necessarily mean a bigger fish. Few years back I think an 80 cm fish won the tea tree comp weighing in at 8.8 kgs I think it was. My mate made this mistake in the comp awhile ago by taking a longer fish thinking it was bigger but it actually weighed a lot less.

Great reward and report - need these to pull the forum out of it's current slow-season state.
