Picked up this Flattie in 10m of Water at Peel. Never seen one like it before, dark colour and eyebrows. Anyone know the correct Name?

There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges
Up here we Use Hussar as baits for real RED FISHS (SHSIIFDER)

fringe eye flathead by Grants Guide To Fishes
4.0m webster cat ready for battle
mud and fringe eyed flathead are 2 different species
Fringe-eye Flathead
Cymbacephalus nematophthalmus
Mud Flathead
Ambiserrula jugosa
I would go with fringe eyed flathead, coloration is closer if you look at the pic:

apparently it gets to 58cm and 6.5kg?? Never heard of a 58cm flathead weighing in at 6.5kg without being stuffed with lead first.
