fish ID req'd
hey guys, does anyone know what these are? are they any good to eat?
i shot up to cervantes on anzac day to go see my bro. weather look like it was going to be ok, so i took a mate and the boat. turned out to be a good day, and we ended up releasing a heap of sized dhus, and kept a couple to feed the troops at the house. we got a couple of MASSIVE king george as a bonus.
it was good to get my bro (first pic) onto his first decent dhu, and mine was a couple of kilos short of my PB, but neither photos really do the fish justice (taken on phone cameras).
ended up cruisin home at 24 knots over a glassed off ocean, beers in hand, smiles all round, and watched the air force jets buzzin the coastline as a tribute to the diggers that fought to let us have the freedom to wet a line.

Good observation paully, though you may see that the elongated tail and obtuse dorsal and anal fins would concur my original thought process of it being a Glaucosoma hebraicum. So i created a 3d pie graph just to make sure.
