My son is in Kalbarri with a friend and caught this off the jetty.  Claimed it was a deformed skippy but didn't look like one to me - can anyone ID it?

It was safely returned to be caught another day!

The bunch are quick with jokes.

That does have the head (not job added) of a bluenose salmon, but its miles away from where it should be.

big eye trevally

Thu, 2013-01-10 16:16

judging by the eye size and the fact you can see where the tail scutes just start, i would say its a big eye trevally that has a deformity of its upper jaw, and its a fair way south of its normal range, but thats not unusual with the warm currents the last 2 years.
