Well, I'm not going to win at this rate, but there are some sizeable snappers off the coast near Wanganui. This one was 53cm and in good nick. Didn't weigh it, but close to 3kg? Lots of tiny tope and little lemons kept us busy. Lice were active after dark. In my experience, many things can go wrong on this coast, but I know it produces some good fish if the conditions are right. I've yet to strike it when it's really hot.
