The combined response is: "It is a species of Jellynose, family Ateleopodidae. Ateleopus occurs off the Qld & NSW coast but the species I am familiar with does not reach this size.
Another genus Ijimaia is rarely found off the southern coast, but does not seem a good match for this fish."
Looking up the information on Jellynose Fish, there is very little known about them. They grow to about 950mm, although the fisherman has caught them to possibly 1.1m. Jellynose are deepwater fish (up to 600m) that live on or near the bottom.
