🚨🐟 BREAKING NEWS: LOCAL TODDLER DECLARES HIMSELF KING OF THE DAM! 👑🤣

MEET KEVIN — THE SMALLEST BARRA WITH THE BIGGEST ATTITUDE!

G'DAY EVERYONE!!! 👋😁

MY NAME'S KEVIN!

I'm a BARRAMUNDI!

A BIG ONE!

Well… I'm GOING to be a big one.

Bruce says I'm barely out of nappies, but he's just jealous because I'm younger and better looking. 😎

Anyway, I thought I'd introduce myself because apparently everyone else in the dam is getting famous on Facebook and I'VE BEEN COMPLETELY OVERLOOKED!

WHICH IS VERY RUDE BECAUSE I'M ADORABLE! 🥹🤣

Let me tell you a bit about myself.

🐟 MY NAME: Kevin.

🎂 MY AGE: Almost a grown-up.

📏 MY SIZE: ENORMOUS. (Mum says I'm still growing.)

🍽️ MY FAVOURITE FOOD: Anything.

🎯 MY LIFE GOAL: To be as big as Bruce and have a girlfriend like Barry.

Except Barry doesn't actually have a girlfriend.

He got kissed ONCE by a human and now he thinks he's in a romantic movie. 🙄

Yesterday he asked me to be the page boy at his wedding.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A PAGE BOY IS! CAN I EAT IT?! 🤣

Anyway, living in the dam is pretty exciting.

Bruce keeps telling me to stay out of the big boys' business.

Shazza tells me to wash behind my gills.

Ivory says I'm a precious little angel. 🤍

And Barry keeps asking me if his lips look kissable.

HONESTLY, GROWN-UPS ARE EXHAUSTING! 🤦‍♂️

But something VERY exciting happened to me recently!

I CAUGHT A HUMAN!!! 🎣😱

Yep!

There I was, swimming around looking for something delicious, when I spotted a little hook with a snack on it.

Obviously, I ate it.

Next thing I know…

I'M FLYING THROUGH THE AIR!!!

And this lovely little girl picked me up!

LOOK AT THE PHOTO! 👆

SHE'S SMILING BECAUSE SHE KNOWS SHE'S JUST MET A LEGEND! 😎🤣

I was very brave.

I only panicked a little bit.

Okay, quite a lot.

But I didn't cry!

Well… maybe one tiny bubble. 🫧🥹

Anyway, she was very gentle with me, and after our photo I got to go home and tell EVERYONE!

Bruce said, "Big deal, Kevin. We all get caught."

Shazza said, "Did you remember to smile?"

Barry said, "DID SHE KISS YOU?!"

NO, BARRY! NOT EVERYONE'S LOOKING FOR A BLOODY ROMANCE! 🙄🤣

Now I've heard that the Barra Fun Park is opening again this weekend!

AND I'M SO EXCITED!!!

Because maybe another lovely little human will come and catch me!

Or maybe I'll catch THEM!

I HAVEN'T QUITE WORKED OUT HOW FISHING WORKS YET! 🤣

Future King of the Dam.
Professional Snack Tester.
Still Living With Mum.

P.S. Bruce says I'm too little to be famous. WELL, WHO'S ON FACEBOOK NOW, BRUCE?! 😎

P.P.S. Shazza says I have to be home before dark.

P.P.P.S. If anyone catches me, please tell Mum I'm doing really well and I've been eating all my dinner.

P.P.P.P.S. Does anyone know how to get a fishing licence? I want to catch a human next weekend. 🤣🤣

🎣🐟 SOMEONE HAD A REEL-Y GOOD BIRTHDAY! 🎉😂

Forget birthday cake… this young bloke was too busy hauling in barra bigger than his birthday presents! 🎁🤣

Just look at these beauties! Three cracking catches, one very happy fisherman and a birthday party that certainly gave the fish a workout!

And yes, before anyone asks… all caught using our supplied rods and squashed barbs! 😉🎣

Who needs fancy fishing gear when you’ve got a bit of skill, a whole lot of enthusiasm and some very cooperative barra?

Happy Birthday, champion! 🥳 Thanks for celebrating with us at Barra Fun Park! 😂🐟❤️

🎣 WHO SAYS YOU CAN’T CATCH BARRA WITH SQUASHED BARBS? 😂🐟

Well, apparently nobody told the fish!

Yesterday, a birthday party of 14-year-olds were landing over 20 barra EACH! And today, more than 30 people were reeling them in one after another!

So to everyone who insists you need barbed hooks to catch barra… perhaps the fish didn’t get the memo! 🤣

Turns out you don’t need barbs. You just need to know how to fish! 😉🎣

And did we mention that all fishing rods and unlimited bait are supplied FREE with your entry? That’s right! No extra charges, no fancy gear required. Just turn up and have a crack!

And the best part? Our beautiful barra get to swim away with a lot less damage.

Happy fish, happy fishermen. Everybody wins! ❤️🐟
