What is it
Submitted by Auslobster on Tue, 2015-01-06 16:58
Discovered by a mate in the Peel Inlet over the weekend...appears to be some sort of offshore demersal. Based on the feet/rod/reel, am guessing around the 50cm mark. He said it had a plastic bag in its gob. Original colours obviously long gone. All I can think of is red snapper/nanny, but do they have fine, sharp teeth?

Belive it or not, I have Seen one of these same species of fish dead on the banks of the swan river a few years back, always to this day wondered what it was!

That actually makes sense!
Probably someone had an old one in their freezer and was using it for crab bait, were catching f#ckall, packed up early, ditched the bait, etc etc...
