Giant Mangrove Snapper!
Went out of Miami yesterday and we werent doing to great until the end. The vis was awesome and the water was flat like a lake. At the end of the trip I was swimming around and saw what looked to be like a mutton because it was so big but when I went down to look closer it turned out it was a 27 inch, 7 pound mangrove snapper. I didn't even think that mangroves got that big.

Re: Giant Mangrove Snapper!
Damn nice mangrove for miami!!! They do get bigger though....much bigger. The five mangroves in the pic went 54lbs total with the biggest one at 12.5#. Never saw any this big when I lived in Miami though (unless they were small cuberas). These are from Louisiana.....off the oil platforms.

Re: Giant Mangrove Snapper!
Is that possibly a hybrid? (nice fish, by the way) Cubera/mangrove?
Jacks cross breed. I wonder if these snappers do? |
