Another off-season BARRA

[kingkev]

Went down to the Townsville rockwalls for the first time this year. After some good rains I thought I needed to get out. Got up at 4am and by 4:45am I had 2 lines in the water,one with strip mullet and one with whole mullet. The whole mullet turned into a small shark after 15 minutes and the strip turned into my BIGGEST EVER BARRA at 108cm a short time later. A big fight ensued and eventually I tired her out. Heavy as..............but managed to get her up the walls for a quick pic and then send her on her way.

Lets hope the big ones stay around until the season opens. A magnificent catch in my books and just a pity about the off-season

Enjoy the pic

[Mozza]

Yes Mozza, my first Barra over 1m. It feels very good to be in the 1 meter-plus club.

When I put the tape over it my mouth dropped as i realised I had just hit the magic 1 meter mark. I thought about a beer at 6:05 this morning but decided against it.

Great fish mate....and never to early for a celebrating beer.

[codz22]

Great fish mate. Any barra is good barra let alone 1 over a meter bet she went off

[kingkev]

I am stil beaming.......very happy to catch a 1m plus barra and now can understand how all the others felt when they caught their first 1m plus barra. a great battle to win.

Great Fish there Kev. Congrats, Can't wait to get back out on the water to have a go

[Fishin_Dan]

Awesome fish Kev. Great pic too. Lets hope they stay on the bite like this next month for ya!!

[sojourner]

Congrats on a great fish.
Yeah you miss out on a feed, but you sent her back and she can have heaps more babies, so it's no pity.

Cheers, Adam.

[nonibbles]

Congrats Kev!
Hope she lives through the opening of the season. Fortunately there's not that many pro nets around Townsville anymore (or am I misled?) They get caned in that first week.

Good work Kev,

I wish the closure would hurry up and open. I'm not heading out till its lifted cause a fish like that would feed the family for a week.

Once again, good work.

Cheers
