Just be careful, when ya hook onto one of these bugga's.

Murray Cod are a gigantic inland fish leftover from ancient times. They live in the very veins of outback NSW and Victoria in the mighty Murray and Darling rivers and tributaries. If you haven’t camped by the banks of one of these rivers yet, then you simply haven’t lived.

The fish can grow to enormous proportions compared to their environment, growing well in excess of 100 pounds, which is old money for ‘bloody huge’. These days, a 20 to 30 pound fish will readily take a lure and make for some good sport fishing, and give you an esky full of meat to go home with. Anything bigger than this, just take its photo and return it, as we need fish like this in our rivers to catch and kill the rabbits of the river system, the European Carp. The big buggers aren’t much good for eating anyway and a photo and the satisfaction of doing the right thing are far better than a moth riddled trophy with plastic eyes hanging on the wall.

Murray Cod have another almost supernatural power, and that is they somehow tend to grow longer and get heavier in pubs after they have been caught. It’s a wonder more fishermen aren’t killed by these monsters flopping about the floors of inland pubs.

Fred.
