Thats awesome guys.

Truly impressive.

I would love to know if thats a fluke or if there is a consistant popualtion?

I mean we thought Salmon were flukey, but at least they are meant to move into rivers and estuaries. I have never heard of that specie of Sweetlip or Red Throat Emperor as i know them up at the swaines being caught in any rivers let alone the Brisbane.

Good work again.

either someone caught out deep and chucked him in here... or its just one very very lost fish! but looking at other pictures this one is a lot darker then the usual red throat... maybe its been in there for some time?? :S
