Spot on Darryl, or otherwise known as slate snapper. Iki jimi and bleed and they turn out ok, otherwise worth returning. Caught a hooter one today that pulled some string, sent him back as theres heaps better to choose from.
dont rate them one bit, good fight and worth releasing to be caught another day. better fish to be had. Deckhand and member of the Gotone Woodvale team
Gold spotted sweet lip, plectorhynchus flavomaculatus, biggest caught 4.4kg grow to 60cm, first identified in 1830 by Mr Cuvier, eating is 2 star rating, flesh is grey, wouldn't give it to the neighbours. Species on its own. They do change colour if caught in deeper water.
