Can any one ID this fish?

I got it for pics thinking it was a frog fish, but it's not, no varieties of them came close.

Looks like a stone fish.

Scorpionfish maybe

Definitely not a stonefish, could possibly be a scorpionfish...

Try Opsanus tau

Any idea where it was collected?

+1 something like Opsanus tau aka "toadfish"

How about a few more photos showing the fish from a side view? Front-on and top-down views are pretty bad for ID purposes, and with many of these fishes, ID can be tuff on a good day.

Thanks guys.
Toad fish is right mate, one of our local guys identified it and I have put it in our local marine life section.

Yes, a toad fish for sure.
