Only joking, comp has ended for the year .... http://www.news.com.au/national/norther ... d4489f5140

But 13 of the $10k barra were caught, that is a huge tag return rate!

Then there was the ones caught that didn’t qualify. Old mate who went on tales from the tinny caught one early. Reckon there may been another one or 2 maybe. That’s a 15% catch return in 6 months. If you take that catch rate for all Barra. So 30 of all Barra are caught each year, and that does not include the netters. Doesn’t seem right really. Would be interesting to find out catch and catch and neck to catch and release numbers. That’s some a lot of Barra turn over.
