The yanks have Barramundi

[Swindells]

I was having a look around some fishing sites and came across this one in the US, apparently they have imported Barramundi as some sort of farming arrangement and let the yanks battle them in the dams on a catch and release basis. apparently there's not enough sport in carp and catfish ;D

Oh well, good on them.

This particular farm is in Colorado.

Why wouldn't they be using Nile Perch? A 200kg+ Barra type fish is something I would like to see

[siegfried]

Nile perch are capable of breeding in dams/lakes and cause they grow big and quick they eat eveything else and before long the waterway is r00ted, they have buggered many a waterway/ecosystem in Africa..still they would be cool to catch, you could probably catch em on slow trolled asylum see...er maybe not

i have been sending them over for 7 years now. 1million per annum.
