Fish ID please - PPB

Post by PhilN » Sun Oct 15, 2017 5:57 pm

Caught a fish off the Carrum snapper grounds I haven't caught before - sorry didn't bother to take a picture.
Size and body shape of a trevally but with a dark "patch" behind the gills. Almost like a band but not quite. Any ideas?

Trevally that forgot to use sunblock?

Your description will not pass the police line up. I compare it to a witness saying "the person looks like girl with golden earrings".
