wrasse or rock-cod?

caught a few of these was wonderin what exact species it is?

looked through the fish ID guide and it looks similar to a "senator wrasse", but when i search the net for more photos it seems to find more colourful wrasse.

cheers

It is a wrasse, but im not sure what type.

Should be by now, I seem to catch a million of them whenever I fish around GI!

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
