I caught this 135 cm Barra on a big live mullet in a creek near Cairns. It was lively and performed well in less than 6 foot of water. It took some time to get this beauty to my dinghy and when my wife attempted to lip gaff the fish, that's when the fun really started. The Barra ripped the grip straight out of her hand and our marriage was on razor's edge until I got hold of the handle still stuck in it's lip, landed the fish, had the photo taken and watched the fish of a life time swim away again. It was my first metery and I don't like my chances to beat this fish in the near future.

That's a classic, "our marriage was on a razor's edge". Great work. Congratulations to you both.

Hi all,

My first metery, a 129cm I caught trolling by moonlight on a strada 60lb leader and 20lb fins XS, this time last year which was followed up by a 95cm.

Havent been able to catch a barra over 70cm since.


:roll:
