    On my favorite bass stream after trudging down a steep ridge for half a day and losing 3000 feet in altitude 😮 into heritage listed gorge country.

    The best part is knowing that there is gonna be solitude, time to chill out and, if I’m lucky, a few good Aussie Bass  over the next few days before I hit the next climbable ridge out

    If that’s the Murray Cod, I’ve read a large writeup on them in National Geographic magazine a while back, or perhaps on its website.  It listed the candidates for biggest freshwater fish species, and if I recall there were as follows:

    – Taimen (Asia)
    – Murray Cod (Australia)
    – Alligator Gar (North America)
    – Sturgeon (Russia)
    – Mekong Catfish (SE Asia)

    All are known to get over 200#, but I think the Mekong Catfish is sort of the de facto assumed winner.  Naturally, none of these species are swimming at their maximum sizes right now due to overfishing.

    Zach,
    Here’s a pic of one a mate got a couple of years ago on conventional tackle.. a damn big fish but by no means a freak.
