Common Buffalo Bream
Silver Drummer = Common Buffalo Bream = Kyphosus sydneyanus (found from Shark Bay to southern Qld)
Western Buffalo Bream = Kyphosus cornelii (found only along the west coast of WA)
Both are very common around Rottnest. The Silver Drummer is big and is what the photo is. The Western BB is a smaller fish and has a more forked tail, more yellowish in colour and no 'moustache'

Yeh, not the kind of fish you
Yeh, not the kind of fish you would choose to put on the table. Tried it once, never again.
They are vegitarian, but have caught them a number of times back in NZ on bait. They sure do fight hard. Nice effort, thats a solid fish.

Scott, what'd you catch it
Scott, what'd you catch it on? Meat or veg?
I saw quite a few buffies off the south end of Mindarie rock wall last summer and was going to have a go at them. Read up on it and they recommended lots of pollard burley, then use very tiny hooks and a frozen pea or ball of bread for bait.

That's how I noticed them.
That's how I noticed them. When retrieving gangs & mulies. They'd show interest, but just wouldn't bite. Should've garnished it with a piece of lettuce.

Taste like battery acid
While its a great size fish its best left as a MILF (Mother in-law Fish)
I stupidly tried it once and it really did taste like battery acid, mind you I had been warned!

Got a buff on live bait....
Was at the Busselton Jetty many years ago. Buffs were always around the pylons and were a "yer can't catch them" fish. Anyway, I hooked a tiny skippy on a bait chaser and a buff had real hard go at it. So I grabbed a 30lb handline with a goodly sized hook on it, whipped a live yellow tail out of my bucket, pitched it on the hook behind the yellow tail's neck and dropped it in. A buff snapped it up as soon as it panicked and flashed a bit. Hooked it, and then it bombed me on a pylon. Smart buggers.
