0 Yowie Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 It has the blotches along it's body of a Saury, and a rounder head. Different to the Lizardfish that has a pointy head and larger teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Scratchie Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 It looks like a grinner to me but I haven't seen one that big before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest no one Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 No doubt its a Grinner to me, just looks like Mommy Grinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 night_rider Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Me neither! I caught a small one at the spit a while back.... Well Ed, she was attacking me like I'd fed her babies to the Kingies...! I'll get the report written up and submit for a record =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jimbu Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Judging by the gazing going on in the second photo, it looks like it could be love? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 NaClH2OK9 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Very difficult without being able to see the body markings. Possibly variegated lizardfish "synodus variegatus" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 night_rider Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Sorry about the covered photo... Had it in 1 hand and then almost bloody bit me! It was definitely a love to hate relationship from then on in. I think you might be close with the lizard fish... This thing had a number of rows of teeth on his bottom jaw, where as the Grinners only appear to have one row that I can see?

0 night_rider Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 This is the only other photo Yowie. Sorry. We threw him back as we had no intention of eating the thing. Hope he went back into the hole it swam out of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Scratchie Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Still looks like a grinner to me! Just uglier up close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Yowie Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Scratchie, I'm calling it a species of Lizardfish. Very similar to a Grinner, however, the Grinner has a different head and jaw shape, still has a large mouth but the Lizardfish has a bigger mouth (as in Marky's photo), and the pointy teeth.

0 Paikea Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Can someone please ID this ugly sob? . Don't know his name but he is holding a "Grinner". Please, I am joking. Cheers Paikea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me about it, pretty strong too. Almost kicked itself loose a few times! Don't know his name but he is holding a "Grinner". Please, I am joking. Cheers Paikea Hahaha that's hilarious. Anyway lesson learnt. Better side one and measured photos next time. That aside, glad we were all able to learn a little more about the lizard fish family.. I didn't know they existed beyond a grinner... ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
