I have seen Trevally (as a child I watched as they were landed on the beach at a destination undisclosed) as big as the King fish the three of you are holding

the fish in guys photo is actually a giant trevally, found in warmer water tropical areas (northern australia) only. It is severely uncommon to get them past Geraldton, let alone the SW.
In the SW we have silver trevally, they grow biggish, but not that big. A very large silver trevally would be 3-4kgs. The aussie record is 10kg or so i think.
The fish in guys photo would be at the 20kg mark i reckon.
