A note on this little guy. From what I can tell, this is Mr. Nassau Grouper - a feistey little guy that hammered a stripped streamer fly as I cast from a rock outcropping just down the beach from our hotel. Although he was only about 13 inchs long, he was the best fish I landed the entire trip. My luck was pretty poor, but I was happy to get this one along with a couple other smaller reef fish. Check out the cool markings on his face! I later learned that this particular grouper, also known as a Tiger Fish, would have been excelent table fare. The guided trip I took was a fiasco to say the least, and although I can attribute some portion of that bad experience to my lack of experience kayak fishing, the majority of it goes to the guide and his lack of experience/preparation. Still a good learning experience and we did in fact hook up, so it wasnt that bad. Tight Lines!
