[QUOTE="davent, post: 302150, member: 6002"] Many moons ago, myself and a mate were told a story of the 1st impoundment ever stocked with barramundi. It was stocked along time before tinaroo dam, and we figured that the barra must be massive by now, only problem is the dam was off limits to fishermen. So we did what all keen fishos would do, and planned a night mission. Being ex army, I got a toppo map, and planned a route in, it involved hiding the car in the jungle, then following a spur line down a steep hill to the edge of the dam....easy! Anyway, after about 20 mins of very hard going, getting tangled up in wait a while, in the dark, rod getting hooked up in vines, mozzies eating us and sweat in the eyes, I was confronted by a cassowary, it had fluffed all its feathers out, was jumping up and down on the spot and hissing like a snake, must have been 6 foot tall, and looked more like 10 ft! Ever tried to run through the jungle at night?....with full undies? 8) [/QUOTE]
