Went out this weekend and the recreational capt I fish with has started targeting these guys. You catch them at about 1000ft of water. We fished them for about 4 hrs and caught 6 fish weighing about 15-25bs. It made the trip because we lost 3 YF at the boat and only had a few dolphin, BF, and one wahoo to show to that point. Anyone fish these on the regular? Meat looks very good. I'm going to pan sear and the broil these evening.

Yes, their meat is similar to grouper. Thier common name here is "barrel grouper".

I've never fished them though.
