The Moses Perch ( fingermark )have a size limit of 25cms at present and the other fish are called Stripeys or Latjanus Latjauno, no size limit as yet. Very good eating as they are a member of the Perch family.

Yes a colour photograph beside each fish the DPI describes would be helpful.

You've probably caught a Moses Perch which are quite common where you were fishing. Fingermark are more prolific towards the northern parts of Australia. Sometimes confused because of the black marking towards the tail end.
You should get hold of a fish id book. Not all photos/drawings will look like the fish. Colourations may not be too good but it's more important to look at the fins and the shape rather than colours.
