North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

Just got this email in:


"Despite all the rain Queensland is having Barra are now being caught at Lake Monduran. This 44.62kg Barra was caught from a Kayak last night by Denis Harrold. The length was 134cm and the girth was 107cm thick. This is a Pending World Record. Well Done Denis!!!! Denis is on the left of the picture."

Is that the same fish that is pictured in the post "jenny craig dropout'?

these are great fish and amazing catches,but does anyone know the max size these big girls will grow swimming round in a pantry basically, seemed only a few short years ago a metery from an impoundment was caught and everyone was amazed at it's girth....in 10 years time there might be a 2 metre bazza weighing 90kg being caught and catches like this will be deemed to be rats

She is a pig of a fish

Good point, a seem to remember the same thing . People might be trolling around with light game gear in 10 years time

but does anyone know the max size these big girls will grow

Hi
Don't know. But wild river catches of 1.48, 1.5 and 1.54 have been recorded here. They were'nt as fat as this one but they'll grow over 1.5 alright. An impoundment barra over 1.5 would have to be 50kg (110 lbs).

This one was 2 lbs off the magic old 100lb mark.

There are some other photos on the Qld impoundment posts. Looks like this one was kept. People are encouraged to keep big fish in the stocked impoundment system here.

hhmmm a 5 year old paddling a foam surfboard would look like the surface lures we use now to a 1.5+ metre barra BOOF
