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

This is the biggest one we have caught
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
