Great video mate and congratulations 🙌 cracking fish 🏆 the tail walk on the release was epic!!!

[@Luke.Nugent1967]

Hi Karl. That was a good day all round, fishing with my work mates. My concern was the crocodiles looking and lurking around.

[@LarrysFishing]

Wow, great job landing that beast. Looked like a happy dance when you put it back LOL.

[@Luke.Nugent1967]

Hi Larry. LOL, I was thinking the same when I released her. Cheers again mate and tight lines.

Nervous? Did ya keep a scale? Always good to get a decent Barra and love watching the big ones being released. Awesome fish great clip Luke.

[@Luke.Nugent1967]

Hi Tim. Just a tad nervous and no I didn’t keep a scale. I’m glad you liked the video.

[@ntbarrafishing]

Nice swampy barra. 👍 How big did you estimate him to be?

[@Luke.Nugent1967]

I reckon probably in the low to mid 80s.

[@NTfishingadventures]

When was this?

[@Luke.Nugent1967]

Last Saturday 22 April

[@oliewray8357]

Half the fished scales where gone terrible job 👎

[@Luke.Nugent1967]

It is Simultaneous detection of scale drop disease virus and/or Flavobacterium columnare from diseased freshwater-reared barramundi.
