Nice catch you got there, is that snook you speared there I can't exactly tell from pics. I never seem to find any decent size fish around williamstown, and the correct species is a dusky morwong, real lazy fish just sits there normally. Q

Re spearing unidentified fish, things look a lot different a couple meteres down/dirty water/running out of breath.
I usually call it a butterfish, but butterfish is a broad name applied to many fish and does not appear in the Vic rec fishing guide.
This post was to settle a bet with a mate.
Like most people on here I am aware of the protected species in vic waters, thanks for the responses tho guys
