Re: Anyone Fishing?
My first ever barramundi was of that scale! It was like snagging a Mac truck!
It now lives in my stairwell!
That fish is 104 cm (41") and 14 kg (31 lbs). I have spent the last 20 yrs and a bunch of $$$, even building a BIG boat, trying to repeat the experience - but so far my largest other barra was 96 cm (38"). We tend to measure barra on length rather than weight.

Nice catch! Those are some monsters!

Meet on of the local where we fish!
Estimated at 16+ ft - anything over 8' is regarded as a man eater!
This is why my boat is 22' !

and its never a good idea to run the boat too close to high banks!

As long as you are doing some work on the boat you might as well go ahead and mount a 50 cal on the bow

I showed my kid the video and asked him if he'd like to be fishing with me there first. He was a little cheezed about the croc flying down the hill.

We braved the craziness that is the Florida Keys during lobster Mini-Season. I grew up doing this every year but haven't been there for mini-season for lobster for 5 or 6 years. It was crazy, for sure.

Luv the pic of the lobsters!
Here in tropical Nth Queensland, the only way you can legally catch lobsters is to dive for them.
In the home of man-eating crocs, white pointers, tiger sharks etc - I don't think so, thank you very much!
