looks like a thready to me. or a blue nose. that tail is a dead giveaway with the size of the fish iy belongs to.. on closer inspection i would say no to thready as there isnt anything under the chin.

Striped threadfin maybe
Striped Threadfin - Polydactylus plebeiusStriped Threadfin are dusky in the dorsal area with 7 or so darker stripes along the scale rows on the side above the lateral line. The pectoral fins are unbranched and there are five free filamentous rays.
Striped Threadfin grow to 1.6kgs and 46cms in length.
They are considered good eating.
In Australia, Striped Threadfin are found from central Western Australia, around the tropical north to Brisbane Queensland, over muddy bottoms of the continental shelf, from estuaries to coastal beaches and to relatively deep waters (less than 122m).
