Hi all,
Can someone help with the identification of this fish we caught off the beach at Cape Woolamai on Phillip Island?
Thank you
Fish identification please

Close but I am 99.99% sure it is a Rock Cale.

Re: Fish identification please
I am intrigued. The more I read descriptions and look at photos of kelpfish and rock cale, the more confused I get. Is there any way of getting a 100% positive ID? Museum?
