Second barra trip

 My brother is visiting from the UK, his fifth trip here but only his second barra trip and he was taken out fishing the Ord by legendary Kununurra local Dick P.

He only managed a single fish......but what a fish measuring 127 cm ......I wonder how many serious barra fishermen would give their eye teeth to hook into such a stunning fish

 Fished with Dick up there a couple of times. Real gentleman of a bloke and really has those big Barra properly sorted out. 

127 is a fish most will never see in their lifetime.

It was all down to Dick's knowledge and skill

in putting him onto the fish, even so it truly is a fish of a lifetime, measured twice with separate tapes to verify its length.  I still cannot believe it as it is by far the largest Barra I have ever seen
