Thanks Larry -- indeed, between mis-identification, local lore, and language barriers, the nomenclature gets fuzzy at times! We're talking about the same fish, beautiful brutes! I e-mailed you a few pics, the big guy hit on the surface, about 80 yds. of line out -- on live bait, but still awesome to watch, feel, fight, and land. Thank you, circle hooks!!! (Both caught on a TB Custom and TranX HG, 65# PP mainline, 30# flouro leader.)
Fishing for these guys with poppers must be a blast! (Pun intended). I believe these are the largest Snappers, but I'm off to do more (much-needed) research. Thanks again, be well -- Dave
