Hey guys, I just checked the FWC website, and I can't find any mention of this "pink snapper" ya'll are talking about. Whats the daily bag, and does it affect the aggregate bag limit for snapper? Thanks for the info.As far as bag limit, state and federal law limits it at one but many anglers like to play with fire and when caught with more than one pay a VERY hefty fine that usually includes a monthly fine for the next 20 years, forfiture (sp?) of boat, all tackle, house, car and dignity. but usually if you stick with one, you lose all that stuff anyways!

That is why I practice "catch and release!" As long as you stick to the 18 to the fork rule you are usually pretty safe.

Thanks for the info.Check Sammy's website. There's no bag or size limit, but I'd throw anything over 135 back unless I'm drunk. Throw back ones over 135lbs ?? are you crazy, above 135 are the best, anything less than 135 are skinny !!

the pink snapper (or pink tuna as we have always called it-of course, this might be a separate species, both of which can be found at the flora-bama) can definately put up a fight. but instead of gaffing, on our boat, we usually dilute a spray bottle half full of cheap tequila with some water, and spray directly into the mouth of the fish, and it becomes much calmer and easier to work with.
the pink snapper: hit it, and forget it.

| nb&twil, You are right. I have caught roosterfish, and I like to say that they are like a Jack on steriods and uppers. They fight hard and act crazy when hooked. One minute they are at the surface running hard and the next they are 100 ft. down acting like a shark. They get my vote hands down.

There is no limit on pink snapper that I know of but me and most of my buddies practice catch and release only. We all kept one at one time or another but finally realized catch and release is the only way to go.

| Of the fish I've caught, it would be a swordfish, even more fight than a blue. From what I've heard, read and learned, it would be a Giant Trevally
