. I would take up fishing if there were species like that over here(California)...........Looks like a great trip man!
They are trying to sell those "mouth almighties" down here in Tassie for aquariums, I've heard they can be lots of trouble... Not cool!
Cheers,

wat r those jars eating in that lake?????????
and they say jars can live in a 180>>>B/S!!!!!
I'm guessing mainly terrestrial insects such as dragonflies. There were alot of baitfish in the water (mosquito fish and various gudgeons), however, we saw alot of swirls and surface strikes where the fish took insects off the surface.
Also, all the fish were hooked using surface flies. It was very visual fishing-you either saw the fish cruising and cast to it, or you actually saw them take the flies.
We can. The lfs sell them for about $100 for a 5 incher. Or if you can, catch your own.
Awesome fishes... That jar is GORGEOUS...
Best regards.

Which one? We caught about 30.
I have fished for leichardti before, saw a local fisho land a monster at 117cm long in a stocked dam. Never fished for Murray Cod, although I know of places where they can be caught.
Bumble Bee groupers? Not sure if its the same fish, but I have caught what we call Queensland Grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus) over here. Is this the same fish? Not sure, since the ones we caught were all in saltwater estuaries, and were at least 2 ft long; still babies for the species and having very different coloration from the adults.
The bumble bee groupers I see in MFK are kept in fresh, and mostly small.
Here's pics of a juvenile Queensland grouper. Are they BBG? By the way, these guys pull like steamtrains! Not so much speed like tarpon, but way up there in terms of torque.
Interesting story. 3 years ago, we rented a mothership and fished the Jackson River in Queensland. Every night, when we anchor up, adult groupers in the 300-400 pound range would be attracted to the back of the boat by the noise of the generators on the ship.
We would tie barra, Queenfish, trevally etc about 2 ft long (around the tail) that we had caught during the day and slap them on the surface. The groupers would come up and swallow the fish, and it was a contest to see who could hold on the longest! Just don't get pulled in, as there were heaps of sharks and crocs there. Something like below.

I believe that is the same fish! Would love to see more fishing pics of those and the letchartdi. Maybe even Murray cod.
Oh You forgot to answer my temperature question.
