Yellowtail Snapper (Ocyurus chrysurus) - these guys loved my camera housing and the yellow strap. Whenever I stopped I would have 10-20 of them around me all the time getting in the way.

Taken with a Canon G9 and underwater housing.

It takes a lot of energy to move this mass so it is no surprise to find this big Snapper resting. It is so seldom that you can find more than the noise and part of the shell above the waterline so I get excited when they rest up on a log in the water.

Snapper.

Caught this Snapper on 50lb braided line using squid as bait. Boat was 25miles of the coast of Port Victoria on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. It was 43C but there was plenty of beer :-) and the sea was calm as can be. I caught this on my first cast; you wouldn't read about it eh?
