0 Yowie Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 As Zoran stated, Barracouta. or, Barry Couta, an evil devil of the cold water, prone to eating your bait, hooks, sinkers and chewing on your fingers if he gets close enough. Barry has a short dorsal fin, grey in colour. Gem has a long dorsal fin, grey/pink in colour. Gem tastes rather nice, Barry not so nice, and at times can have a few worms or parasites crawling through the flesh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
