Mr Lo caught this 58cm fish off Darwin’s Fannie Bay foreshore using live mullet as bait.
At the time of this post there were still 83 barra with $10,000 red tags to be caught this season, with 10 fish sporting a million-dollar tag.
Usually around 100 of the tagged fish are released each year.

Hi – My name is Matt Flynn, I am the bloke running this site. Hope you are enjoying the articles.
Back in the late 1970s I would fish Adelaide’s Brighton jetty, and other South Australian jetties, for squid, tommies, gar, sharks and rays, which I mostly released.
Every now and then snapper like this would show up. One night six fish like this were caught. Interestingly, it was so rough that night, one of the deck boards broke later in the night, after we left.
I caught this snapper on a rough night, but we also caught one on a flat calm night.
The big snapper would come on the bite during the late incoming tide, as did everything else – gummy sharks, smooth rays, eagle rays, Port Jackson sharks, fiddle rays and more.
From vague memory the big snapper were usually around in October. We never caught small ones.
I also saw a mulloway caught off one of the metro jetties.
