Couple of them could tow a kayak from Sandgate to Moreton I'd reckon.

By strange coincidence I literally just finished reading that article. My sister in Mt Isa sent a link. Not from a river though. These big girls were caught in the artificial lake at the Isa which is a stocked impoundment.

I find it interesting they want to take the big fish out. I guess that’s so they stop eating the fingerlings so there can be more fish caught in coming years.

I guess you have to consider how many times the same fish gets caught. I suppose there’s always the chance it will just die on the release, as well…

Thanks for the article @ubnt.

Cheers Hamish

These are big Boys, rather than girls.

Yep, good point. No access to salt water so no sex change for them.

Soooo. AFO road trip?

Cracking fish. More like a dinosaur. 

Thanks for posting mate.
