What Fish Is This?

went out fishing this morning weather was awesome.

caught some snapper on jigs, and then hooked this fish...?

I was thinking saddle tailed snapper, however the head seems to be more from the perch family... maybe haha

I don't do a lot of deeper water fishing so hopefully someone has caught or heard one of these fish before any info would be great :)

cheers Hamish

there's a whole bunch of deeper water jobfish that are rarely caught/seen, I would suggest looking at it quickly that would be what you have there. it's definitely not a saddle tailed snapper (large mouth nannygai / scarlet sea perch).

I will check the latest grants guide when I get home and get back to you, see if there is something in there that fits the description.

or just wait until Elops sees this post, he'll have a couple of big scary latin words to throw at you I'm sure!
