Caught in Salt Pan Creek (George's River) this morning on a prawn (swam away happily after photos). Measured 85 cm.
It looks like a Longtom, but according to my books the bigger ones such as the Banded Longtom have dark fins. The only Longtom I can find with yellow fins is a tropical variety that only grows to about 50 cm.
My book says they are all good eating but from memory as a kid in Redcliffe QLD, they are absolutely full of bones. We used to catch them off the rock wall but not this big.

Hi all,
Any idea what this fish is?
