0 Blackfish Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Looks like a Eastern Smooth Boxfish,“ Anoplocapros inermis” but I’m not at home so just looking at it on my phone. Edited July 12, 2019 by Blackfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 kingie chaser Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Its a highly poisonous puffer fish that should not be handled 😱 Yeh sorry, just my sense of humor after a couple of beers. Not sure but looks like its from the puffer family? Also welcome aboard Edit: actually it could be from the jacket family?

0 kingie chaser Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 There is actually a really good fish ID link someone put up here not long ago that I am trying to find which might help. Get back to you on that 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get back to you on that 👍 Are you referring to the app ID Fish. Blackfish has nailed it again. The app states it is toxic to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Yowie Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Boxfish, non edible, have caught a few in the Hacking over the years when fishing for jackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
