One of my favorite 65-75’ spots has a big “T” shaped rock and a bunch of hogfish. This one identified as female and started a fairly recent hermaphrodite change to male. You can still see some of the fish’s female characteristics, namely a pointy snout, body is not elongated like the big stud she’ll become 🤬

I didn’t spear this fish it was too fun to observe it as I lay on the bottom in its domain while the cleaning wrasses took care of it.

Hand lining for hogfish in the Florida Keys is largely influenced by both regulatory requirements and habitat conditions. On deeper reefs, locating legal-sized fish consistently can be more challenging, while north of the Long Key Bridge, hogfish may not legally be speared within three miles of shore, significantly affecting where they are pursued.
In these shallow patch reef environments, hand lining with a live crab is the preferred method, emphasizing a slow presentation, close proximity to structure, and a rapid retrieval once the fish commits.

Giant Bahamian Hogfish 🐽
Is this the best eating fish on the planet?

Hogfish like Auggie open their mouths wide not just for singing vibrato 🎙️🎶😜 — it’s their way of creating suction to vacuum up tasty critters from the ocean floor. They could be anticipating a meal, exploring their surroundings, or just engaging in their natural behaviors.
Come say hello to Auggie in our Coral Reef exhibit!
