New record?

 Caught this baby today. Some websites say they grow to 30cm. This Butterfly Gurnard is 42cm. Lovely fish.

We didn't measure it, let it go , but on reflection would have given the WA record a bit of a pasting. That's a 6oz sinker next to it for reference, so I think it was a fair bit over 50cm
