Fairly sure this is a large Murray Cod. Similar sized ones have often been sighted in this location.

Hi @DougT
I would estimate around or just over a metre long if straight.

Hey @JimL , how big do you think this was? More or less than 1m? It is almost certainly Anguilla australis, but there's a remote chance it could be Anguilla dieffenbachii. The latter is endemic to New Zealand, but is known to migrate to pacific islands to breed, and given that Port Arthur is as close as Australia gets to New Zealand, I don't think we can rule it out.

This is not a Port Jackson shark, as it lacks a forward-positioned dorsal fin. It is most likely a draughtboard shark, and it is certainly a catshark of some species.
