Congrats to your son on a surprising catch... Rumour has it this is not as uncommon as people have long believed.. going back an repeating this catch will confirm this.
Paddles...LOL .......shall we release you back into the wild and see if you breed?? LOL Breeding is instict for all fish, if they have a partner and the right water conditions they WILL breed...survival of the fry is another issue altogether!!
Maroochy river will be quite interesting this summer!!
That's a solid fish. that's one of the great things about cast netting, you're never sure what you'll pull up. In relation to the comment about "necking them" i'm not sure if he was having a go or not as he seemed genuinely impressed. Besides as you clarified, he let two others go, and kept a legal fish. I'd say he earnt it by getting that sucker in using his bare hands.

nah, i wouldn't do any good back in the wild. i was actually serious though i honestly thought they didn't breed in the wild, i know it sounds strange but i'm sure i've read or heard it somewhere. but definitely the blue eyes for farm fish.
I am genuinely happy for the bloke, would have been a great moment for him. Just seeding the idea that maybe they are better off released so they at least have a chance at reproducing more barra. I was very tempted myself too "neck" one from the goldy last year. Ben
