Identify this fish? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

JDub17 · 02-05-2018, 11:04 PM

Hey guys,
I’m relitively new to kayak fishing and have not seen a fish like this before. Actually caught two of them on the day (only got a pic of one both were released unharmed). Got it right outside of NPH straight out from the wedge side jetty at about 65ft on a squid strip. Kind of had teeth similar to a sheephead (not sure if you can tell from the pic).
Thank you!

That’s a triggerfish and they are so tasty. That fish makes the best saviche. You can catch these all day long in Mexico.
