Not my pb, This fish was landed in awoonga last april by the guy sitting down. the size was never properly measured as the fin rays of the tail (black part of tail) hung entirely over the end of the brag mat. estimated to be about 135cm give or take.

biggest i heard come out of awoonga was early this year or late last year i cant remember but she went 142 or 144 cm one of the two anyway. a mate of mine has pulled a 124 out of monduran
My PB is 123cm from Tinaroo (it weighed in at 30.2kg). At the time I was using a gold classic 120 in 10+. Hope you like the pic!
Dave Powell's 38kg barra from Tinaroo still stands as the biggest recorded barra to my knowledge.
Gee,,,, l only catch little fish.....
Re: Barra Records for Impoundments
I seen a bloke bring in this unit, at the monduran comp on saturday, it came in at 130cm. unfortunately it was after 5 oclock so it wasn't included as an entry, he would have won a thousand bucks, catching this baby would have been just as good though.
As you can see in the pics the weighmaster looks dumbfounded as the official scales were screaming for mercy and could not handle the weight of this fish, and would not register weight and the measuring tray was to short. It would have been well over 30 kgs though in my opinion. I think they might have to look at upgraging scales next year. How big are they going to be in another 5-10 years???? exciting stuff. For those of you who are wondering the big girl was released. It made my 94cm look pretty insignificant but I am still happy with that, for now. can't wait to get my arse back there for another trip. I must apolagize for the photography, will try an improve next time.
Thanks TinarooT.
Joe hasn't sent me a brag mat photo but I certainly don't doubt him for a second as he has caught dozens off 120+barra.
I will post the pics as soon as I get them.
That Monduran monster is huge - was it pulled from the main basin or the sticks???
I think it was caught in the sticks, the pics don't do it justice it was truly a big fish.

Want To See What I Think Is A Record. Check Out The Lake Monduran Web Site, Lake M. It As Far As I Know Was Never Weighed In Or Measured But I Recon It Would Be 140+ And Break The Scales. It Was Caught Only A Few Weeks Ago. Recon Its A Sign Of A Woppen Future For These Mighty Fish. Let Me Know What U Think.
me too trevor (bloddy tiddlers), and i stock the bloody lake. nah got some nice ones (6) out at awoonga on tuesday night with the smallest stretching the brag mat to 116cm and the biggest to 122.7cm. i dont quite qualify for you regular guys record books yet. a couple stretched my slick rig hooks just about dead straight. oh well hopefully bash a few more this week and replace 200,000 more in the next fortnight.
cheers
