No SW fish expert
But that is a Wirrah. Which type not sure, but other nickname "old boot'. Cook it and an old boot together, throw away the fish and eat the boot, it will taste better.

Good thing he went back then, not into the taste of boots really
-Just looked a little more armed with the term wirrah and found that he is a Acanthistius serratus, Western wirrah

Looks like a type of wirrah, but I haven't caught one with those colours befor they normally have a bit of green about them.
I have eaten and thought they were ok but you need to skin. The flesh is a bit like blackass

Leopard wirrah - caught 40cm
Leopard wirrah - caught 40cm + sizes at Burns between the weed and reefs. Feels like a bag when they on the line.
