Fish ID - emperor in Perth
Submitted by Percula on Sun, 2015-05-24 19:23
Hi Guys
What are your thoughts on this one? Caught in Perth today, 2 in a row. Bit nervous to bring it back in as couldn't be sure.
Is it baby spangled, blue line or is it a blue spotted?
If blue spotted it would have been size (29cm).
Thanks

Hey Randall,
I see you took my advise and changed your avatar to show off that monster mackie !
And as mentioned above, a blue lined emperor also called black snapper or grass snapper (grassy) excellent eating.
