Caught while snapper fishing in 20m off oeach cove area, Whangarei Heads. 130mm long. Kind of looks like a cockabully?

Sorry, it is impossible to tell anything from that photo.

It is probably a large species of triplefin (cockabully). There are some that get up to 150mm.

I have caught a baby blacked spotted groper from that area before, almost looks like one...
