I FINALLY Found One!! Hunting BIG SNAPPER

Hunting down big winter snapper is never easy, but the cold waters and shorter days make success that much sweeter! The stars aligned today and I found myself hooked into an absolute slab of a FAT WINTER BEAST, the drag started screaming and the hours of searching melted away as reality set in. Strap in for this one, she's a goodie.

[@John-uh2cm]

Easy 15lb on that 75cm beauty of a snap! A prime winter moocher. Well done, and well played 🤙🏻

[@NomadicKayakFishing]

Fak Fak that’s a ripper snapper dude well done for the release.
Cheers for another top vid out on the water.
Steve from Nelson

[@NomadicKayakFishing]

Thanks mate. Nelson is one of my favorite places in the country. Such a welcoming community down there

[@habitableliquid9021]

That’s what I like 👍 that’s my kind of fishing

[@NomadicKayakFishing]

Hahah mine to!

[@KingsWithAndy]

Winter shallows with sb for the win!.... Nice mahi with the release after a long days work. 75cm should easy be in the 15lb mark... I recon around this length they can dramatically vary in weight.... some feel closer to 20lb when they have a big gut and head on them.

[@NomadicKayakFishing]

Thanks Andy. Yea I've seen some huge differences in weight around the mid seventies... my guess was 16-17is lbs. Good condition but not anything crazy

Need a wide landing net bro

[@NomadicKayakFishing]

Yea nah, not a fan of carrying around a big net on the kayak. But I get where you're coming from

[@BasicFishingNZ]

nice work on that big snapper. always cool to land a big ones especially in winter plus in unlikely places too.

[@NomadicKayakFishing]

thanks bro, that fish was definitely a special one

[@leanmchungry4735]

Always exciting to see a big red appear next to the yak, it was likely an 18lb fish, happy days.

[@NomadicKayakFishing]

Shot bro, 18lb sounds good to me!

[@WildBunchAdventures]

[@NomadicKayakFishing]

[@chrisfindlay5963]

[@bradleywelch6370]

Enjoy your videos but not the blasphemy. Keep it tidy bro!

[@NomadicKayakFishing]

Thanks, I'm trying to tidy up the language but struggling. The vocabulary has been baked into me growing up around rough people (not an excuse) I'll do better.

[@bradleywelch6370]

@@NomadicKayakFishing Appreciate your honesty. I dream to catch one of those kingies you haul in all the time.
