Blackfish's post in Fish ID please(Stout Longtom) was marked as the answer
There's a few different Longtoms. I'll call this one a Stout Longtom. Tyosurus gavialoides.
There's also another common one, Barred Longtom Ablennes hains and seem Oceanic. I've only seen them out to sea especially on the north coast. To me they hang around in the same water as Wahoo/Mackeral etc, though I've seen them at 2&3 Mile out from the Entrance.
These I Alligator Gar but thats also a common name for Stout Longtom....... Bloody common names.
Thought I'd clear it up.
Thanks all.

Blackfish's post in Fish ID (Lesser Queenfish) was marked as the answer
I would also call it a Lesser Queenfish Scomberoides lysan.
My reasoning would be the head shape and the Dorsal fin colour. Hand is in the way a tad and the fish is tilted at a bit of a angle but all good.

Blackfish's post in Fish id please(Yellowtail Barracuda) was marked as the answer
I recon ... though I could be mistaken.
I recon its a Yellowtail Barracuda Sphyraena obusata . I call it a Sea Pike, plus they have a few other common names. Note the Smaller Dorsal and Anal fins and are rounder (cylindrical) than the Longfin Pike. The stripe is also just above the Pectorial fin where the L/F Pike is higher.
Certainly not as common as Longfin Pike, but have caught them in Sydney Harbour and Botany Bay also up the Barrier reef.
