It's a Dusty Mawang Bullfrog Snapper. Or Slim Dusty for short.
Well, thats what we have been calling them up here for years. I'm sure there is a story to go with that one but can not remember it at the moment. we catch them quite often. Actually quite good to eat, relly clean clear flesh simmilar to Robbo's. We never have really looked up what the actually where but assumed they where some type of Fusilier. But we put them down as Slim Dustys on our fisheries returns and they are happy with that.

Thanks Seaforce
It took a baited dropper above the jig. Just using the jig as a sinker so you don't have to wind all the way up until you have a fish.
