my mum caught the biggest snapper I have ever seen. Rock fishing.

In this video my mum catches a 28lb snapper off the rocks during the local lady’s day fishing contest. It’s the biggest snapper I have ever seen!
The girls decide to fish the rocks rather than the boat because of the average conditions,I’m behind the camera for the whole day. The fish were blighting straight away and we had no idea this would turn into a day we all would never forget!
