Ryan Sheahan with his massive Barra
Name: Ryan Sheahan
Age: 29
From: Ingham
Job: Chippy at Glenn McCulloch Building
School: Ingham High
Marital status: Married to Sarah Sheahan
What type of fish: Barra
Size: 1m 5cm
Where: Herbert River
Bait: Live – that’s all I’ll give ya!
How caught: Handline – after a two minute battle
What did you do with it: Let her go
What’s special about this catch: They’re all special in their own way, whether it’s a metre or 30 cm fish. We’re just lucky to be in a place where we can enjoy a beer and catch fish like this in our backyard. People travel thousands of kilometres to catch a barramundi
Favourite fish: To eat – coral trout or red emperor. To catch – barra
River or reef: Oof. That’s a great question. Jeez. You got me stumped. I love fishing all round. Whether it’s on the banks of the river or the continental shelf – where the reef meets the deep blue
Shout out: To my wife who let me go fishing that one time
Best thing about Ingham: I like camping, fishing, hunting. I love the outdoors. We’ve got everything here
Thank you Ryan – what a whopper!
