smr_hga Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 I caught this guy last summer on an offshore charter. I have passed it off as a White Grunt since but i am really starting to doubt it. Someone please help? Quote
OCdockskipper Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 That fish has no ID, he isn't old enough to drive yet and no pockets to carry it in. Quote
bigbassin' Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 It's a grunt, what kind I don't know. But it's definitely a grunt. 1 Quote

I caught this on a charter and the crew said i could keep it so i hooked it up as live bait. Within a moment i had something that mustve been 200lbs or something crazy because i was hanging on for dear life. It ended up snapping the line so i guess we will never know. Quote

mrpao Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Definitely not a black sea bass. Looks like a small white grunt but not for certain. There are several grunt species that look similar. White grunt do inhabit Florida saltwater. 1 Quote

I caught a black sea bass earlier that trip. With that said i'd have to agree with this, 12 hours ago, mrpao said: Definitely not a black sea bass. Quote
Molay1292 Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 After a better look, I would have to agree that it is not a sea bass, based on the forked tail. Quote

It has the stripe running across its face and you can barely see the black dot on its tail. Quote
