Thanks. Ya that FL Trigger is a lot more colorful than the ones around here. One thing I did learn, is that Sheephead are really tasty. My wife fried that one in some coconut oil with some mild spices and it was as good as any fish I have ever eaten. I will be making those fish a regular target going forward. I actually gave the Trigger to Alex who I was fishing with so I did not get a chance to try that one but he said they are very good. Maybe next time...

Sounds like your wife is a good cook! My wife uses coconut oil also, it makes for a delicious change from olive oil. We have darker-colored Triggerfish in Florida also. I guess they must be abundant in the Sth Bay these days as you gave it away and mention maybe catching one next time.

Looked like they are more common in the Redondo and MDR area now. I caught one on a crankbait trolling back from PV. My friend caught one a few minutes later. Mine was over 4lbs. I gave it away so I don't know what it taste like. I will definitely keep the next one.

Thanks again Dave for sharing your catch. That trigger fish tasted amazing. The wife who doesn’t like any fish other than sheepshead liked the trigger even more, and I agree. Great tasting fish, almost the same texture as mahi-mahi 😁

Humm, starting to regret my decision

If you like Ceviche...Trigger Fish is really good in that dish...
