Someone from a fishing forum caught a metre long barra from nor suburban lake

yeah was that manna your talking about? Took him a few tries to get it too.

Makes you wonder how it managed to survive winter hey, unless it was put there a decent size.

Or was it just a big hoax.... I have heard people talk before about dams full of barra year round around Perth and down south but I've never seen anything first hand, only heard it on grapevines..

Fisherman telling fibs, surely not

metre long Barra, or foot long koi? What's the difference?

Supposedly there's a guy in Chittering with large lake on his property that has Barra year round. I was told the lake has some sort of heating at one end, recirculated water or something, where all the fish hang out over winter. He is supposed to be some mega-rich CEO that flies into Perth every morning by chopper, so I don't think cost is an issue for him. I was told he charges other richies to catch Barra up there in Summer, but they have to be released.

Ive heard of people catching crabs in Thialand.......

Thats definitely not a fib....

Speakin from experience mate Lmao

The guy that got the barra is credible to me.

Mate was telling me of dams down south with big silvers in them, going down there at some point to see for myself

found the old threads , no it wasn't a metre long but it was definitely barra!

Think i found the critter. Related to gambusia.

Lost my bigger yabbie. He must of swam up and then climed out via the suspended airstone.

Looks like the culprit to me!
