Caught 2 of these little guys today. PPB in around 10m. Anyone know what it is? Both released.

Yeah I think they are sort of rare in the bay, at least not a common catch. I caught one a while ago when snapper fishing and was puzzled as to what it was. I’m sure they would taste good, but a bit small. Always nice to catch a new species though.
