Yup Sunfish
Hard to tell the scale of the shot, but certainly looks like a Sunfish. I read recently that their habbit of basking on or close to the surface results in impacts from boats/ships. That may explain the beach wash up.

There would be a gang of Gamakatsu hooks hanging off its ear if that was the case.

Cheynes and Sun Fish
SOI, Cheynes is basically (approx) 30 clics east of Albany, and yes, Sunfish can be huge. Ocean sunfish (Mola mola) can gow more than 4.2m and 3m across. a 2.7m specimen, caught in 1996 of 'only' 2.7 meters in length weighed 2.3 (metric) tones (5,071 pounds)!

Great spot Cheyne's Beach. Sad to hear it is disappearing.

Hi Colin
How did you go with the weather last night? I see there were severe thunderstone warnings of the south of the State.
