Hi Poodge,
It's a little bit hard to tell from your picture, but I'm pretty sure it's a bastard trumpeter. Nice sized fish!

The fish the fella on the left is holding is a banded morwong - quite prized, there is a live export industry of banded morwong to Japan.
Are you still fishing much out of your kayak? The Melbourne guys I used to go out with have been cleaning up on squid out from Mornington, bag limit catches have been the norm.
I've only just started kayak fishing Lake Jindabyne in the high country, it is bloody cold, but worth putting up with the discomfort. I got a 47cm rainbow trout and a 45cm atlantic salmon trolling lures last Saturday.
