Snapper - Caught and release
Submitted by Karak on Wed, 2013-12-04 22:56
Hi,
I "caught and release" an undersized fish that look like a snapper but it was silver in color. I was using SP berkley nuclear chicken 5' with 1/8' jighead.
it had the similiar dorsal fin and bulging forehead like a pinkie.
Just wondering what kind of species it was.
No photos.
Thanks,
