Thanks Vikram,

The bigger the Barramundi , The tastier it is.

Hey Thanks,
Ya ofcourse Barras give a good fight.

Yes sometimes.
But not like Dr. Prasad, he is a pro. Infact he is the one who taught me angling.

My God. That's a lot of Big Fish caught in a single day. Almost the size of a decent fresh water Mahseer.
Congrats sudesh . Amazing snaps.
Must be quite a fighter, this "Barramundi".

Yo-go for it Sudesh
List tackle used please?
I am a derelict angler-small catch now and then of spotted macks and a couple of red snapper-used to live 100m from the beach until 2 mo ago.Some on and off probs with shoulder, . mostly use a Temple Forks Outfitters 2 pc 15-25lb /3/8 oz ( I think) 2m rod witha shimano 6000 bait runner. Thats my go-to outfit,gave away my jarvis walker to tempt another chappy into the trade. Thats great fish and Alibaug must be a great place for all you guys!
I have been 'smoking' all barra the last couple of months-matter of fact, xmas lunch was dry smoked barra.DELICIOUS.Ask my wife, the finickiest of fish eaters!Now she ges out and BUYS Barras and cod!!
