Hey, you know what? I think it's a Goldspot Trev (according to the pictures title, appearance and general banter):-)

I did some casual editing of the photo's title is all, caught a couple of people out. :) Except that spammer boy Mako, just looking for more points, thats -5 just there.
Some of the trevally species are particulary difficult to identify - bludgers and gold spots are a common one.
Another is mangrove jack/dark tailed sea perch and red bass, rather easy when you've seen a few fresh out of the water, but after being in an icebox all day they lose some definition and easily identifiable characteristics.
Lots of people get confused with NW Snapper, unfortunately that title didn't help at all. :( Spangleds and blue line are easy with the colour differention, blue spot emperor do make it a little more confusing. Really easy once you've seen a few though.
