Check out the Upper Jaw Length compared to the Lower Jaw Length.
The lower jaw is shorter than the upper in trout cod.
In Murray cod the lower jaw is either the same length or slightly longer than the upper.

Hope this helps

trout cod, the flash doesn't help the pic though, cheers davo
It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

Neither does hanging it by the bottom jaw, with a pair or pliers :(

Yup, more than likely a dead cod now...
