Barramundi are fresh and salt water
I really want to catch one
They're up at my uncle's house
To catch one will be fun
Murray Cod will be good too
They might hunt at night
They definitely are fresh water
Plus they put up an awesome fight
Mangrove Jacks are at the coast
So, yes they live in mangroves
But I hope they hunt at daylight
I'll catch one in the small bay cove
Carp I want to get rid of them
They're such an invasive fish
I'll catch them and kill them all
I don't know how Europeans put them in a dish
Aussie Bass are good fish too
I usually catch them at Boondooma
They are a tasty fish but aggressive
If I get a pet Bass, I'll call him Zuma
