I just received news of a fantastic 119cm Barra taken on one of Ollie's 125mm Mac-Ray lures. This amazing fish was caught(and released) last Thursday 14 April by Dave Donald of Weipa while tolling in the Daly River.
A full write up of the capture will appear in the June edition of "Fish and Boat" magazine.

Congratulations to all concerned,
Col

Thanks for the post Col and thank you to Dave giving the lure a swim, I think for any lure maker always rewarding to see monster fish hanging of one of your own creation.
Cracking fish for a wild river fish.👍👍
Hoping to catch up with Dave at the Lure Expo.

Very nice capture, but he caught it a week too early, might have won him the Barra Nationals LOL.
