That’s a Marbled Flathead Whiskey. Platycephalus marmoratus 

Good size too. 👍

The 5 Bands across the back helps identify them as well as the White edges on the fins.

Lol I forgot my mirage drive at home, luckily I have an electric motor.

So I had to put something in there to stop all the water splashing up.
