Here in NZ we get a similar run of big snapper on the mudflats channels around new years , my theory is the flats crabs are in softshell or they are just gaining as much condition as quickly as possible post spawn. I have caught a few on softbait from the dingy as well including a memorable double of 20lbers one night (my boat draws 6ft so too risky up the little channels at night so I row up in the 8ft dingy) amazing how few people target them but then I suppose you can put in allot of time for just a few massive fish. Please if you do though don't kill the big ones the aren't that good eating and you will get a few 2 or 3 kg ones take those home if you must.
Watching Winga swap hands to lift and wind around 22mins is the reason I taught myself reel with my left hand! Nice fish guys! Goes to show fish come to the thinkers and the innovators!
Quick Observation/Question. Winga, you guys seem to have used a palomar/clinch knot to tie the circle on. Do you feel that you get the same number of hook ups as when you tie a snelled circle , or a circle on a loop? Great fishing and awesome channel :) subscribed!
@Antipodean33 your off your head that's a well legal kgw. Maybe your from a different state but that's well legal in Victoria and there's plenty of them
Why did you guys make a excruciate pain that fish and let go? If you not gone a eat that fish then leave fish alone. think about that hook when trough your cheeks.

Antipodean that is officially the dumbest post I've ever read. Keep sniffing you're own farts and telling yourself your important.
