[fishyfillets69]

It was caught on a jackal and wieghed 13kg!

[fartfish]

tinaroo? where is that? near sydney somewhere?

[fishyfillets69]

Up in QLD, It's one of the big barra dams there near Cairns. We were fishing for Barra but caught the Yella next to the big snag behind in the pic.

My mate sux at taking pics and cut me head off the dik!

[fartfish]

wow good catch m8!

is a jackall some sort of bait?

[fishyfillets69]

It's a lure dude. One of those Jap bass lures but usually the Barra like them to, but not this time, the yella got to it first. Never heard of a Yalla going that big before!

[fartfish]

Your name, and details of where in Tinaroo it was caught - then I might just beleive you . Never the less, thats a cracker of a Golden.

I'll take a stab in the dark & say maybe thats Sth Africa & not Nth Qld.

[chicken]

That's one fat fish

[Graham_N_Roberts]

Caught in Tinnaroo? That ain't no golden perch.

Looks like a carp, but still not likely if caught in Tinnaroo. A bit tropical up there for goldens or carp.

Have to agree with you cq freshie. Saved and enlarged the photo, looks suspiciously like a barbell on either side of the mouth.

Plus the shape seems all wrong for a golden perch even a big fat sassy one.

I'd want to see better closeups to make a final decision.
