the fish also may be a yellow tail pike either way a cool fish
I think you're right, they might just be different names for the same fish. It looks like it is a yellowfin barracuda / sea-pike: australian.museum/learn/animals/fishes/yellowtail-barracuda-sphyraena-obtusata/
hey bro that "barracuda" looks to be a sabre tooth whiting such a cool fish so hard to catch
