Hi all after reading the hot thread favorite impoundment barra lure. i got thinking of records, does anybody Know the Dam Records for barra in Monduron , Awoonga , Tinaroo ,Lake lenthals.And i would be really Interested in All fellow aus fishers P.Bs For Barra in the dams they have fished and the lure used.
I once Read that they grow at 3kg a year as wellso that would mean there sould be bigger one to beat these records THIS YEAR!!
Should Be Interesting Guys
Cheers Craig

The dam record is much bigger than that, mate. I have a 119 cm weighed 60 lb and two @ 117cm from there.Originally Posted by NAGG
Have measured a dead one @ 129 cm.
no no no ..... Thats my PB for Proserpine ....
I have no doubt there are Barra swimming around that measure 140cm & would pull the scale down to 90lb+ ....... but is it possible to stop them.... Nagg
My 98cm PB at Monduran in March 2007 caught on a Predatek Viper in Grey Ghost colouring.

Great stuff guys, boby that 130cm one you measured dead , why did it die ?? cold snap ? i agree nagg so many fish that would have to be just about unstopabe!!! i guess they dont get big for no reason !!!smart dirty fighters!
Iwatched that steve starling video on awoonga yesterday (getting keen foe late nov hehe) and he said that awoonga was around 34 kg record didn't catch the cm lenght, i thought it was a little small ?
Cheers

Old age perhaps?

looking good for when we are alll up there after the comp
Not sure, only guessing that the bloke who caught it was so excited that he kept it out of the water for too long. And, it was in January 2006, so no chance of cold. Water temp was 32deg C.
My biggest at proserpine is 121cm about 65 pounds
they do get bigger the fisheries did electrofishing in tinaroo and found some hundred pounders but there are very close to the end of there life cycle. Now if we could just give them the same gene as a nile perch we would get up to 400 pounders
now that would be a real challenge!
Happy casting
Justin
I caught a few metrey's but nothing close to a record.
What I have heard:
Monduran - Brett (ex Monduran guide) landed a 35kg and saw a 36kg landed on the same day.
Faust - Heard of DPI electrofishing a 150cm girl - not weighed.
Awoonga - heard of a 140cm but never saw photos on a brag mat. Biggest I heard of is from some of the regulars (around 130cm). I'll be there next weekend so hoping to beat my PB.
Tinaroo and current world record on line was by David Powell caught in 1999 and weighed in at 37.85kgs and from memory, was under 130cms (it looked like a barrell though - thick as).
A mate who fishes Tinaroo regularly landed a 135cm about 2 weeks ago. Didn't weigh it but recons it wouldn't have been as heavy as the record - not as thick a fish. Joe will send me down the 'Brag Mat' shot soon so I will post it for anyone who's interested.
Cheers

Well if you are after PBs then my best and only barra is a 62cm Barra at Awoonga on a Barra classic. I am heading to the dam for 4 days starting tomorrow for chance to beat my PB. Wish me luck!
cheers

Navi,
Dave Powells fish was 120cm... and yes, 37.85kg. Try lifting that!
Would like to see the pic of the 135cm fish. I believe that would be a new length Record for the Dam.
Heres a link for people Interested in Records. These plus about 4 others have come from Tinaroo.
