Incredible! Those fish never cease to amaze me. How do they fight? Do they head for the horizon in one long steady pull or do they make quick bursts? Do they jump and fight near the surface or do they dive deep? I can't even begin to imagine how you could land something that big. The tail on them is as big as a canoe paddle! The closest thing I could do to battling a barra over here is to hook my line to a canoe and have my brothers paddle around a lake. ;D ;D ;D

Great fish i8K! Congratulations!

[jackextracter]

Excellent Barra fellas, it'll be interesting too see just how big they will get to in Kinchant.

Gday El Carpo, the fight can vary but generally Barra this size will be all power runs/dives with a jump now and again. In the timber you'll soon find out how good your knots are :o ::) otherwise it's all over pretty quick ;D

Hopefully you can get over our way one day and experience these big Mummas for yourself ;)

Neil :)

Thanks Neil! I think those fish are the kings of freshwater sportsfish the world over. I know some catfish and salmon species get giant and there's some crazy looking fish in Brazil that resembles godzilla, but pound for pound, I bet the barra is the best fighter going.

dont have a problem with that, I enjoyed the pic myself...just thought that it needed to be stated that correct measurements needed to be taken.


so maybe a post from you with your "qualifications" on the correct way to do it, would be well founded

cheers and thanks for your future post on that subject

Great fish and pics guys!

Panasonic - I don't think the pic is intended as a "how to" measure a fish, it's just a pic of a fish.

When you're fishing alone can be quite a job to get a pic at all let alone stuffing around with the brag mat too much, Especially when you're buggered after fighting a decent fish! ;)

If you muck around too long the fish ends up dead and that's not good if you practise c&r

[bigdan123]

spot on tony :)
the post is about "Kinchant Magic" not about how to get measurements on a brag mat >:( >:( and there was no claim to a measurement on the mat anyway :-? :-?

certain posts and comments made by myself and others have been removed from this topic by Ausfish

at my request, so to add to this would be detrimental to the website

certain posts and comments made by myself...

Its in there, that lies the problem.

Ease up old son your new here and most of these guys do know each other very well, you too may have the opportunity to gain some great mates from this site. It takes a considerable amount of time to understand just how Ausfishers who know each other personally relate to each other through the chat boards.
