I’m sure all you Barramundi fishermen will enjoy this one; recently caught this barra was on the Fitzroy river.W.A. The fish weighed 113kg's and could unfortunately not be released as a crocodile attacked it when they had the fish boatside. (likely story)

Hey Brigalow, how's it going?

Going by the second photo, the croc must have attacked the fish from the other side

G'Day to you Les,Yes mate its a shame to see such a big fish being taken,I think the croc ...well I would say would be a croc.

...I have a bit of a recollection of a giant Groper being scull dragged in the same way and left to rot many years back around Shute harbour I think...not a good look

I hope these guys at least had a feed of this Barra.

Good to hear your doing OK...going up in the world...all the way up to Darwin...arrr good on ya mate.

Waiting for your next breakout,I try to drop in here as often as time permits and I hear your planning next year?I better put the hand up if your looking for numbers.

I have a run into Bathurst lined up at the end of June 6 or 7 weeks away so working on getting the old bus shipshape.

Yes the Cape is an ediction....my version of the durries.
Stay well (hope the foot mended well)and take care....

I have it on good authority (a Broome local and mad keen barra fisho, well acquainted with the Fitzroy) that that is a Nile Perch... we got that email too
