Quoting David Mann <[email protected]>:
Here's a cellphone snapshot of the big salmon in the town of Rakaia,
which is on the banks of the Rakaia river about 40 minutes south of
Christchurch. The Rakaia is one of our largest braided rivers and
is very popular with fishermen for both salmon and trout. The
bridge across the Rakaia is the longest in the country at 1757 metres.

I'll see your Big Fish and raise you our Big Galah (Kimba, in rural
South Australia).

In Australia, the 'big' craze started with the Big Banana in Coffs
Harbour in the 50s and grew from there. So we now have things like
the Big Barramundi at Daintree, the Big Merino at Goulburn, the Big
Prawn at Ballina and the Big Mosquito (Ossie the Mossie) at Hexam.
Then there's the Big Potato at Robertson (which, to mild amusement of
visitors, looks more like a big turd...)
