Cal 480 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 That certainly is a mega specimen of a fish AFF, but i put money on it that its not a Barra,reckon its a Nile Perch,pretty much identical fish but grows to huge sizes like 400lb.They catch them in Africa ,a famous place for them is Lake Nassar in Egypt.Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
