My biggest 118cm caught twenty metres upstream from the cabin boat ramp where we launch boats at Monduran. Photo of Adam Cox one of the biggest barras I've seen caught in Monduran. No length or weight available as Adam just wanted to photogaph it and get it back into the water asap. Good Work Adam

Cheers Foxie

The biggest barra I've ever heard of was caught in the Fitzroy River in Rockhampton in 1959. I don't know its length but you can guess from the photo. That's me standing beside it when I was in Grade 9. It weighed about 85 pounds (39kgs).
