I'm still personally searching for my first 'magic mark' of over 1 meter :) There's something about this fish that I just have to release them, I also use barbless hooks, and stay away from bait fishing which can have them engulf the hook. thanks for a great pic tho! Really like it :) They are beautiful fish, and as you say an Aussie icon, something we should be proud of.

I read that on Wikipedia, that the water they are in can effect their colour. I wondered if Melbourne Aquarium played on that. Or the lighting? It really surprised me at the time, it was the first time I'd seen a Murray Cod, and it wasn't what I expected. Hello Shade.

Generally they are very green and lighter as they get older. Check out some great pics of big fish on Rod's site, he's quite a legend for his promotion of catch and release methods for our natives, and for the big fish he finds : http://codmac.com.au/gallery.html Hello from the Murray, home of the mighty Murray Cod ;)
