Got smoked by a big fish last night. Dead low tide off the rocks on a thumb sized piece of kahawai. Had it well hooked and played it for about 5 to 8 mins before it reefed me and pinged off. It shot left, then I turned it and it shot right past me and then reefed me. At first thought it was a ray, but no wing pumps or anything to indicate a ray at all. Just solid, fast runs.

10 mins later I got another run, struck, pulled up solid and that fish shot left at a huge rate of knots. First I thought kahawai, then changed my mind to trev as it too reefed me (only running 8kg). I jumped across the rocks and eventually dragged it through the weed to find a 1.3kg snapper on the end. It played like a trev. I was very surprised. I was only fishing 1.5m-2m deep water at this stage.
