I’m not sure what a bigeye redfish is. If you mean Red Bigeye then if you scroll down in this forum and look for a post by Lukelee then there is a photo of one caught under the Roseville Bridge.

“Red big eyes” are also called “happy moments”- be very careful handing these as they are very painful if you get spiked by their dorsal fins.

Filleted they are superb eating fish (don’t eat the skin though). The skin is very tough like a leatherjacket.

We get red bigeye's in the Hacking every now then so they certainly do come into the estuaries and harbours. I know Yowie has caught a few as well.

I'll agree with that.

Happy moments are a different fish, nothing to do with the Big Eye.
