Hard to tell when shes
Hard to tell when shes wearing a hat but maybe blonde with a tatttoo! lol. Na mate jokes it looks like a queen snapper but hard to tell from my end as the photos a bit blury. Good capture though well done.
Keep it tight, reeeeeeel tight!

Dusky
Looks like a dusky morwong or a goldspot sweetlip. But yep, bit difficult to determine, did it go on the plate and how did it taste?

sand snapper
i caught 1 off onslow last year and didnt know what it was. looked in an ID book to find it was a sand snapper (poor eating).
too wide for a dusky and i think goldspot (painted) sweetlep are only caught in southers waters. although it is very similar to one.
