Fish Identification

Fish Id. Ugly bugger

Hey guys. Any ideas what this is? Caught in 15m off Hillarys, I thought might be some sort of stonefish??? Apologies for the poor photos, was a spiked bugger and didn’t want to get too close. Released well.

cheers! 


Exmouth ugly fish?

A mate caught this in Exmouth out deep. Has me stumped. Any ideas?

 


Fish ID please

 Caught this yesterday. Looking at the recfishwest app it looks a bit like a Rabbittfish of sorts. Any ideas?


metro Red Bass?

Hi,

Picked up this beauty the other week was fat as around 7-8kg at a guess. Anyone got a positive i.d? Ive never caught a red bass but it looks like one?

 

Also picked up a nice spainyard on a cast metal. 

Big school of feeding mackies came straight toward us. skipper hooks up and gets snipped, then I get snipped. quick rerig (no wire) and I got lucky!

 

 


Bug / Parasite

G'day guys,

 

Out of interest can anyone provide me with some information of what this is. It came out of one of the Ruby's mouths and was about the size of your palm. 

 

Cheers in advance.

 

 


Whats this please?

 

Can anyone id the attached fish please. Caught off southern wa in 450m of water.


Fish ID - Longfin Perch

 I got this fish off Jurien Bay in 90 metres. About 35cm long. Quick look at the FishWrecked ID says Longfin Perch and good eating so in the esky. However, when I google this now, every picture of a Longfin Perch doesn’t look like this...for a start the tail is different. Anyone clear this up? Perhaps Glen?


Fish Id:

 Hi Guys,

Are any fello FW members able to identify this fish species? Was caught by a work colleague who just returned from their annual Gnaraloo trip came from 60 metres.


Cod ID please?

I caught this fishing yesterday, I thought it was a Chinamon Cod but now I'm not so sure, any suggestions?


Deep Drop ID

 From Coral Bay in 380m. Any ideas.

If not I have allready named it a Soapy Goat Trevalla


What type of fish is this?

 Is this a red scorpion fish?


ID please

 Just looking at grabbing an IF forthis fish. I swear I’ve seen them before but can’t remember the name for the life of me


Fish ID

Hi Guys,

Have caught heaps of these before off Exmouth etc but always just thought of them as a type of fusilier, even though probably not. A friend needs to know the species.

Cheers.

How to identify Tuna

 Hello Forum

I work in a Sushi restaurant and we get different kinds of tuna.

Is it possible to recognize tuna without seeing the whole body?

I am uploading a picture here which looks like Big Eye Tuna from my experience.

Thank you for reading out. Looking forward for tips and suggestion. Good Weekend 

 

 


Eel

 caught +200m water locally. nice white flesh but I hate the things so did not keep! 


Anyone can ID this fish?

Doesn't look like a cod... anyone know what this is?

 


Shark id please

 Hey guys

 

Sorry for the bad photo but could someone help id this shark.

It looked like a wobby but didn't have the whiskers and had decent teeth


ID please

Caught in 40 Fathoms off Midwest Coast.

cheers Boomer


Shark ID

 Caught by a mate, I'm thinking sandbar but he says the pec fins were very long (over a metre each), he's not sure what species.

Has no teeth and a broken jaw which I assume is from a longline/drumline?


What is this fish?

Hey folks

I've looked through the RecFishWest app and cannot find out what this is? Anyone knows?

 

 


Thai crabs, not what you think...

Hi folks,

Long shot I know but this sucker came at us when we were walking down to Hellfire Pass in Thailand this week.  

It was a long way from water and no one here seems to know what it is.  Had a look on the interwebs as well and can't seem to figure it out.

I am hoping Glenn's fish identification superpowers extend to Thai land crabs but has anyone else been chased by one of these before?

Regards,

Ninja.

Wahoo intestinal parasites

 This will probably be one for Glenn, and I didn't have a camera handy. When cleaning a large wahoo recently, I did my usual examination of the gut contents for an idea of what he was feeding on. The stomach was empty, apart from two rather disgusting looking purple/red blobs which were attached to the inner stomach lining.  They were able to be pulled away without any apparent damage, and apeared to have a mouth on the end which was attached. They resembled nothing so much as a very fat leech, attached inside the stomach. Elongated neck, overall length maybe 25mm, with a fat end diameter of around 18mm. Fish was otherwise in perfect health, gave a good fight and flesh was perfect.

Anyone else seen these?


Two ID's Please

Caught these two on an in shore reef on Saturday.

Fish 1: Concave forehead like a Barramundi - but dark and out of territory.

Fish 2: Sea bass (Epinephelinae) of sorts I would think). Originally thought it was a juvenile Estuary Cod but the head markings look different.

Thoughts please.
