[spspirate]

Going deep sea fishing with my pops this summer and was cruising the charters site. They had a ton of photographs from previous trips out to sea, about 70 miles off the coast of Va beach (Virginia) Anyway Saw this photo of one of the fish that was caught from one of their trips..............any guesses to what it is?

No guesses?

Not sure what it is Andy but the tail streamers look amazing. I would love to see this in the water!

Grouper? Anthias? Waif... Neat looking fish.

I believe it is a snapper.

Queen Snapper (Etelis oculatus) is my guess

It's one of many deepwater Anthias the Atlantic has to offer.
