Fish ID please (Bullrout)

[Chillifishi]

Does anyone know what this fish is called?

 

Thanks in advance.

Looks similar to a bullrout, probably is. I have caught them on lure before, DO NOT touch them as they have an extremely painful sting that will leave you in lots of pain for hours.

What terrain did you catch it in? Looks like an eastern Wirrah. I may be wrong though.

I'd call it a Bullrout as well. I recon it has the correct amount of Dorsal Spines. 

Also no spots on the head that a Wirrah has.

Thank you all!

I have had the misfortune to be spiked by one before. I will never want to experience that again, never!
