Barra update
Since my last report where I nailed a 118 cm fish my brother has been about a dozen times. He's caught fish every trip and I reckon the total number is somewhere around 45 in those trips. Well over a dozen have been over the metre mark. Maybe even half the fish have been over the metre. The very next trip after mine I turned down the deckie spot and the guy that went caught a 129cm fish. Mick himself has caught his fair share with the biggest of 128cm form memory. Mick and Erica's son got his first metre fish a few days ago so they're all getting into the action.
Yesterday Mick got a 114 and a 118 in quick time to go with the tally for the day that already included some impressive.
They just sent me these photos of a fish Mick caught that his by far his heaviest. It went 126cm and well over 30 kilos. The other fish that were longer were not as heavy, perhaps as it was still in the cooler periods of several weeks ago.
I'll check with Ron but if he is not a member does this fish now count as the new record displacing mine since they got a tape shot? It would be good to see the record broken.
I'm hoping to get some better photos soon.

seriously dude - wow! where
seriously dude - wow! where are you getting these?!
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

That's a bloody serious fish
Well done on a great catch, just thinking out aloud do you think it may have been taking performance enhancing supplements, and did you put it back.

The fish are from Lake
The fish are from Lake Tinaroo in Far North Queensland. All stocked impoundment fish and apart from one competition where a couple were kept the rest are released ASAP once a photo and or a quick measure is taken. None have been weighed to get them back to the water ASAP.

Put in a few hours on Sunday
Put in a few hours on Sunday night trolling from a mate's tinny for one possible small strike (not a barra), need to head out in my yak soon I think as the tinny spooked a couple of fish that launched themselves in the air, just smallish fish around 70cm.. heading out this weekend with a lot of coffee and will troll into the wee hours... I am still officially the worst barra fisherman in the history of fishing..
