Hi! Anglers,
1: I observed the Nile Perch Looks very similar to a Barra. Are both from the same species. Or what ?
[color=red]Not sure.. looks same, so it may be a subspecies . [/color]
2: How big do barras grow . IF any one could please upload/share Pictures of their personal best, i would realy ejoy reading it.
I have pic that is 30 kg plus.. not sure but was claimed to be 30 KG.. I have one more pic that is of 25 KG, and that is a true weight. My PB is 11 KG and i am sure that barra's do grow lot bigger than that (30 KG is possible) there was an old article of 100 kg + barra caught in Mumbai harbour in late 18th / early 19 th centaury
3: I've seen on youtube Nile perch taken on rubber shads do Barras hit on rubber shads.Which kind?
yes they do..
Go up river for the big ones..
Regards,
Santosh
