Is this the worlds BIGGEST Barramundi Caught on Film!?!

  • At almost 140cm long this is the BIGGEST Barramundi I can find EVER caught on film. I am sure there have been bigger barramundi caught but this may be the World's biggest barramundi ever caught on film and I even had my drone in the air at the time. We all go fishing for giant fish, and it's incredible to tick this one off! Not sure what is next, I guess that unicorn fish is over the 140 mark.

    That was or is the MOST memorable fish of my lifetime! Still have no words to describe how incredible that fish was and i still feel that the video doesn't do its size justice. Thanks for tuning in legends.

      With the lures you use new abs 80 resin would be good get a number 2 or 3 sinker drill out add pin and a tow point fill with resin plus add micro spears to shell of sinker it is the new plastic hard bodies are made from and baits like you large cod lures are mad from mor spears added lighter it is.

      HERE IS A FISH SECRET FOR THE LURES YOU USE. GO INTO A NEWSAGENT FIND THE A4 NOTE BOOK 📙 WITH THAT COLOURED PLAST COVER ITS ON THE WIRE COIL TYPE I USE THE PURPLE OR FROG GREEN PLASTIC COLOUR INVERT LURE TAIL IE ANY LURE CAN BE USED MARK OUT TAIL GLUE TO OUT SIDE SHAPE OF TAIL THEN COPY AGAIN BUT CUT DOWN FRACTION SMALLER X3 LATERS GLUE GIVE 24 HRS AIR TIME. WATCH WHAT HAPPENS HINT GREEN GREEN LOL 😂 HARNNESS UP IN BOAT LOL 😂 YA COULD GET RIPPED STRAIGHT OFF THE HULL OF YA BOAT LOL 😂 ENJOY.
