That thing is a horse. Maybe you should tell the bloke who's got the record(135cm), that his is a guppy. lol

Don't know anything about a 135cm record.

I got a 135 cm barra from under the traffic bridge in the Rockhampton CBD. On a fresh slab of Powertail fished on the bottom!

Lee Jackson (the fella in the photo) has picked up a 145cm and a 148cm from the same spot in town.

The guy who makes Richo lures ( Ken Richardson from Yeppoon) caught a 150 cm barra to win the Rocky Barra fishing competition a couple of years ago. There are photos of that one on a brag mat with a tape measure to extend the brag mat beyond 120cm.

These are all wild barra not dams.

We've had a report of a 1.7 m one from the Wilton/Roper junction a few weeks ago. Bit sceptical about that one. Maybe 1.07 or 1.27 or something?

Have been promised some photos but still waiting.

G'day Basstad

Got any details on the Roper fish?

Roper has a reputation for big fish and we've caught our share of meteries from there over last 5 years.

130 biggest.
