Guess what monster fish this is

[guppy]

Morone americana, white perch?

 

[dredcon]

nope, its family is mostly marine

 

[guppy]

Bamn, well I seem to be stumped, I could have sworn it was one of the lutjanidae.

 

[dredcon]

members of the its family are easily confused with snapper, some even have snapper in their common name i.e. white snapper

 

[guppy]

Damn, a Sparidae? never would have guessed.

 

[guppy]

Acanthopagus butcheri?

 

[dredcon]

still not the right family, but close. The fish if found in Central and South America.

 

[Vince]

it's a grunter, but i is too lazy to look up the long list

 

[guppy]

There aren't any CA/SA grunters (Terapontidae), at least that are listed. Or did you mean grunts (Haemulidae)? If so I think your right.

 

[guppy]

Pomadasys bayanus?
