That bottom one looks like a Snapper. Pretty wild looking. Anyone got any ideas.

I have a feeling Lake XX is a little bit bigger than Lake X! Caught them on carolina rigged topwater baits I'll bet. :-)

I'm a little rusty on my saltwater offshore fish but I would say the top is a triple tail?? Of course the bottom one is a red snapper.

I originally thought a grouper but most grouper do not have the hard angle of the head.

This is a picture of a marbled grouper. Does not exactly look like the same fish however yours is quite a bit bigger. Heck If I know?

Hawghunter goes off shore fishing and they actually brought him back -- with fish to boot!!!

Looks like ya'll had a great trip offshore. My first guess on the brown one was a grouper but what the heck do I know. :-) Congrats on some saltwater action and thanks for posting the pictures.
Thank you Lord for my family and the waters I get to fish

Leave to Ozzie to catch the tall boy in the back ground....
Funnier story of the whole off shore trip is that I caught a 45 pound Yellow fin tuna and after I picked it up of the boat to go home I lost it.... Some how it didnt make the trip home.. Im still wondering how a 38 inch 45 pound fish gets lost...

We went out of Freeport. and went 207 miles out for the first spot... Redhawk rig I think he called it... we caught a few Yellow fin and a ton of black fin there... The grouper came from a couple hours in from that. not sure how far out though

WOW - That is a long haul - it must have been an overnighter? Some day I want to find some grouper. I hear you only need to go about 40-60 miles out for that - if you know where to go. Any one have good coordinates out of freeport for me? :-)
