Fish ID help please

These were caught at the Derwent in 190m. Very red flesh. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks for the help guys. Looks a better match to the picture than anything else I've found.

Turned out to be a great day, my first tuna, first grey band cod (13.5Kg) and first pale snapper! Can't take the credit for the cracking baldy, that was all my wifes work.Smile

Derwent wreck is about 30NM out in 200 metres. Gives your arms a good workout.
