Barramundi are highly prized by anglers for their good fighting ability. The distinct 'thunk!' noise which barramundi make when surface feeding can easily be recognised and echo up to long distances at quiet times like still nights. When hooked on a lure, the barramundi will often clear itself from the water several times throughout the battle and make long powerful runs. This is what makes it such a popular target and it is believed that when you have caught one, it can become addictive!
