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.

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.

Pound-for-Pound gotta go with the Roy Jones Jr fish?

My vote would go to the Giant Trevally (GT).

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.
