This is only a guess but it looks a bit like a Javelin Fish, I'm probably wrong though as Javelins are not usually down this far..

I rotated your fish..

Barred Javelin

Barred Javelin

Besides the colour, it looks like you're on the mark Ray.

If I had to have a punt I'd recon it was a Lethrinus genivittatus that HTUL suggested in another post.

I've caught a few Javelin fish and they are more Silver in colour.

But like Ray I'm happy to be wrong.
