Yes very little fight but I wouldn't say easy; pulling those things up from 800+ feet was back breaking work. The amberjacks on the other hand are monsters...

Yup I'm as Asian as they come... snuck into this country on a boat and everything. Hahah

One of my diver used to work on a vietnamese fishing boat out of Hawaii. Black guy on a vietnamese fishing boat= lots of great storied.

Havent seen those red snappers in awhile. When I lived in Houston, I worked on a Vietnamese commercial fishing boat. Go out for 5 days, come back unload our catch and go back out for another 5 days.
Very easy fish to bring up, it was a Vietnamese boat, so we brought them up by hand. No fishing poles needed. Just heavy line, a curved metal bar with two lines and hooks and anchovies. double hook up all the time.
