0 Blackfish Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Pretty sure its a Spangled Emperor. (Juvenile) Lethrinus nebulosus. Grassys don't have the amount of Blue spot or the blue lines coming down from the eyes. Edited February 4, 2017 by Blackfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Yowie Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Thank you all. Only a small one at 27cm, a new species for me. No size limit for this species in NSW. Did not appear that it would survive being hooked in the gills, was looking a bit sad so I kept it. It produced 2 small chunky fillets so I will give it a try.
