This afternoon I went Murray cod fishing with my great mate Brett Corker. We were targeting Murray cod, but Brett also caught a lovely little endangered trout cod. 
 Trout cod are a native species of fish to Australia. They are an upland species of fish, usually found in in the areas of rivers close to the base of the mountains. 
 Trout cod were once widely distributed throughout large parts of the Murray Darling River basin, however they almost became totaly extinct only 20 years ago. These days they are fighting back thanks to captive breeding programs, fish stocking and stream habitat restoration. 
 Anyhow, I hope you like this video, catching upland Murray cod and trout cod.
