    Hi Shane

    The link worked fine. It was a beaut photo in BBB, probably does it more justice than splashing across the front of a newspaper.

    Cheers

    Isn't 120cm the max length even in the NT???

    Hard to claim a record without keepin it.

    Awesome fish though.

    I have heard of 140's coming from the Ross River and Hinchinbrook?

    I have seen pics of the odd 140 plus barra from the old days in the n/t once they stop all the netting they will come back i think they take twice as long to grow as the dam bara do and 120 is the size i think this fish was photographed and released but the photo is a couple of yeas old

    I'm pretty sure Richo of Richo's lures got one 150cm on the Fitzroy during the first Barra Bounty way back when. We were broken down in the next gutter and heard him catch the bugger. Don't think it was as heavy looking as that one. COuld be wrong about that but that's as I remember it.
