Congrats on landing this biggie even though it's a Seng. Infact this is said to be the best eating species of marine catfish, too bad this one turned out to be 'loko'. Quite unheard of... :shocked:

Wow...nice one!
This seems to be a greater salmon catfish which grows up to 185cm(i think)
Another species is the lesser salmon catfish whcih is like a ...salmon.
Since salmon enter freshwater rivers to breed,salmon catfish do the same but dont die.KBLs are also the same.
Note:the breeding season for barrmundi is march to september.
They will be entering canals to spawn!(Please CNR them,once they breed,they will produce many more eggs which will hatch into baby KBL which means a population boost!)
Urrrgh, no time to fish now~
