Fish ID?

[Piranha 76]

Was chasing some squid off a local jetty this morning and pulled this thing in on a 5'grub, was 66cm and around 3lb and swallowed the grub a fair way down! I haven't googled it, thought a salt fisho on here would know what it is? @nd pic shows a little red worm that is part of it's lower jaw to attract prey i'm guessing.

Saw what I was pretty sure was one of them off the slips in Port Lincoln many many moons ago. Was very cool watching it just squirt along and then suddenly BAM, gone in a flash.
