A couple of the fish caught at kinchant dam , all metre plus except one at 995 ....hey sammy..
Incredible! Those fish never cease to amaze me. How do they fight? Do they head for the horizon in one long steady pull or do they make quick bursts? Do they jump and fight near the surface or do they dive deep? I can't even begin to imagine how you could land something that big. The tail on them is as big as a canoe paddle! The closest thing I could do to battling a barra over here is to hook my line to a canoe and have my brothers paddle around a lake.
Great fish i8K! Congratulations!

Good fish, mate. Kinchant is fishing quite well now.
Good on yous keep it up
Got this one 10.30 this morning from Kinchant
Excellent Barra fellas, it'll be interesting too see just how big they will get to in Kinchant.
Gday El Carpo, the fight can vary but generally Barra this size will be all power runs/dives with a jump now and again. In the timber you'll soon find out how good your knots are
otherwise it's all over pretty quick
Hopefully you can get over our way one day and experience these big Mummas for yourself

Thanks Neil! I think those fish are the kings of freshwater sportsfish the world over. I know some catfish and salmon species get giant and there's some crazy looking fish in Brazil that resembles godzilla, but pound for pound, I bet the barra is the best fighter going.

Your really wasting the time of the people who post these pics for our enjoyment and the people like myself who appreciate the time these people spend to post them.

cheers and thanks for your future post on that subject
Great fish and pics guys!
Panasonic - I don't think the pic is intended as a "how to" measure a fish, it's just a pic of a fish.
When you're fishing alone can be quite a job to get a pic at all let alone stuffing around with the brag mat too much, Especially when you're buggered after fighting a decent fish!
If you muck around too long the fish ends up dead and that's not good if you practise c&r
Cheers,
Tony
spot on tony
the post is about "Kinchant Magic" not about how to get measurements on a brag mat >>
Dan
