That is what I am wondering. They look like a mix between a redfish and a choupique.

The gaffing skills were lacking on this trip as you can see. but that is the first gaff to jump out the boat. We actually recovered it. It pulled out the fish and floated

Tilefish are frickin great eating. Most any fish caught deep dropping will be pretty damn good. Great video Porpi! Catching tuna on poppers is the best. Id rather catch some smaller ones on poppers than big daddys chunkin.
