Hi guys
caught off Busselton in about 10metres of water just wondering what type of flathead this is and how common they are?
cheers

Rock flathead
Southern species, they have turned up on this forum before. regarded as one of the best eating flathead. I scored a couple when I was an ab diver in SA--stabbed through the head with my ab iron. Relatively common in southern waters, tend to live among the reef fringes rather than right out on the sand or weed.
