Stargazer?

Caught 3 in 3 drops whilst shallow water jigging Exmouth.

Photos aren't too good - not 100% sure what it was.

Any ideas?

I got one bottom bouncing in about 30mtrs of water. As soon as it was on board it stunk all the time until I filleted it. Big mouth and reasonable fight but stink to high heaven. Haven;t eaten it yet but will tell you what it's like

thanks fellas. Certainly not the best looking fish in the sea.

Let me know how it tastes (not that I ever intend on eating one).
