I have to agree with MassynD.  Bludger [Carangoides gymnostethus]

The pectoral fins are a more Trevally like (swoopy and long) than the Seriola species (shorter and more robust)

This is true.

The bludger has 2 "dorsal fins" (Im sure theres a different name for this) and the jack only one continuous dorsal.
Colour is a bit different than the bludger but this could be linked to the time out of water, area it was caught etc.
