Name that fish

Welcome

The Destin Log is the twice-weekly newspaper devoted to covering the crown jewel of the Emerald Coast.

You just never know what you are going to see at the docks. weird-fish

Yesterday, the Sunrise brought in an unusal little fish. It was bright red with a touch of neon yellow on the tail.

Some thought it was a creol snapper others a hog snapper. If you have any ideas or have caught one of these let me know.

Thanks for the help.

Google “Cuban Hogfish”. We catch those from time to time bottom fishing offshore, especially around Mingo Ridge.

Amanda,

Thanks for your help - I Googled “Cuban Hogfish” and I think you are dead on - on the identity of that little fish.

Thanks again.
