Not too many words, just photos. The Northland has certainly been what I had hoped for in terms of snapper fishing

Don't know. I do try and release the big boys. I'm quite conservative in guessing fish weights, don't want to shout twenty pounder when it is just a guess. Having said that, I see a lot of photos and video of so-called twenties and think, yeah, I would have put that fish at 12 - 15 lb, so either I'm going too low or others are being a little optimistic.
