Caught in the passage (tee hee hee) this morning. Looks like the love child of a leatherjacket and a trigger. Definitely a mouth like a trigger, but the long wispy pube type thing at the front of the dorsal fin threw me..... along with the fact that I was near the entrance to Bells Creek and haven't come across one up there before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
10 points to the first correct reply..... "correct" being general consensus.
There are only two moments in time.... There's now, and there's too late.
Guess I should have included a picture... hmmm been a long day.

Tripod Fish. Not uncommon in the northern end of the passage.

Kercus gets the 10 points - yellowfin tripod fish to be precise.
