I believe it is a related species to the US "Porgy" - down here in the southern Pacific they are generally known as "snapper" or "red snapper". Whatever the name - hard fighting fish and good eating too!

"As a young kid developing my skills and vision as an artist, I found that I could find no better subject to paint then the big northern pike and largemouth bass that I would often observe cruising the weed lines out in the bayou."
