UNREAL !!!

Just look at how fat it is near the tail.  Looks like this fish would have a coronary if it didn't get caught..  :OMG

Top stuff, secrets lay deep in that lake- I'd not be suprised if that record tumbled next week, or the week after that- for obvious reasons based on moving overflow water, fishing proximity to dam walls and the fact that the moving water will draw bigger fish from the depths, to the upper layers.  Many XOS barra live deep, beyond typical fishing depths- flood waters pulling at their heart strings. Check out their other catch statistics for the 5 days- that says it all. Would it be the biggest in that lake- doubt it. Is it worth raving about- bloody oath- it is a honker of a fish and the angler/s deserve recognition- along with the bloke who envisaged BIG BARRA in our inland lakes like Monduran and kick started the motor bike.
Cheers to all.
