    Default Gold Coast barra on yak video

    I dont know the guy, but this footage is really great to watch. Its the first time Ive seen video of a GC barra being caught. He stays pretty calm under pressure, lots of patience at the net. Dids you might recognise the spot, just upstream from the power lines! Lets not mention the location online boys.

    Yeah, he was targeting his first ever jack, and got that thumper for bycatch, gotta be happy with that. Then he breaks his jack cherry as well.

    Excellent Andrew, thanks for that. Folks that is number 1 on my bucket list, a Barra from with in about 5 kilometres of where he got that. when I do that you'll hear about it. Well done to the angler, I've been trying for that result for years. Find out we're that is and you've got a good land based Jack spot too.

    Nice one, no pressure Dids, but I'd expect something a little bigger than 93 from you

    awesome Vid. I did see in his comments on FB that he has caught Goldy Barra before which would have made a diff between staying calm or crapping your dacks, like most
    fisho's would on their first 'bycatch' Barra!!
