When you catch a queen snapper go through its stomach contents because they usually contain small shells not normally found on beaches etc that can be worth keeping for a collector.

Yeah that would be a big cuttle fish,  I have seen them about the same size ( golf ball ) from a cuttle fish aprox 6 to 7kg.

I have caught quite a few pinkies from the sound that had leafy sea dragons in there gut's.

Nice fish you got too.

 some have blowie in them too, not 1 but 3 the max i saw when gutting it

Would be a reasonable size cuttly, but not an absolute monster in order to have big beaks. Most of their beaks are hidden inside their mouth so only a small amount protrudes when they're alive. One with a body about the size of a football wouldnt have a problem having beaks that big. Of course, I doubt the snapper ate it whole :p A few could take big chunks/nibbles from a dead cuttlie no probs though.

I had a dhuie cough up an pearly abalone type shell once. Also had dhuies cough up bits of cray or a sea urchin (which wasnt fun as it was crunching it in its mouth and it went on the deck). One had a cray feeler sticking out its throat :p Random bits of fish, squid, etc, as per usual. I remember one had three diff types of food in its gob. Of course, the best one was someone elses rig from the previous drift, haha.

I need the scales you use

Why do you say that? You don't think it looks like 7kg?

i had a dhuie cough up a chicken wing , (marinated leftovers)  lol we used them for bait,
