Hi guys on my way home after a mind blowing trip to south western Angola.
I’ll do a proper write up when I have decent internet (sleeping over in Namibia tonight on my way to South Africa)
Here is a taster. It was FANTASTIC

Queenfish is slimmer and has dot pattern.
That looks like an amberjack or samson fish. Relative of kingfish I think.

its mainly the colour that makes me think it might be a queenfish in Queensland a guy caught one that was similar and the queenfish mouths are exactly the same as his fish
