Fish ID please

[Boruchlen]

Hi all,

I'm posting a photo for my uncle, who just caught this fish. Can anyone ID it for me quickly?

Thanks so much,

Bruce

Bermuda chub. Not good for anything except crapping all over anything in a 10 foot radius of their butthole.

[Boruchlen]

Thanks so much for the info. Back it goes

[gruntking]

Dude those things are delicious one of my all time favorite fish

[WetWillie]

Joe, you're a man after my own heart! Those chubs are right up there, like those long jaw mud snappers and oily mouth gill scrod.

[Green Tide]

That sucks, but your uncle is using a decent looking rig.

Welcome Back Bud! Hope all's well.

Really?? Not sure if you're joking

Yup, but the rig looks a little "ugly" to me

Welcome Back Bud! Hope all's well.

Thanks Pat . Great to be back. I sent you a message a little while ago. hope you got it. Maybe we can do some fishing and "catch up" (literally and figuratively) some time.

[Boruchlen]

Very soon my friend.

I guess I'll have to try it if I ever catch one and let you know. I'm always up for a gastronomic challenge

He joking or smoking something. Chubs are the worst tasting fish in Fla IMO, and I'm not a picky fish eater, since i have eaten just about anything that swims in S; Fla and a few things that don't swim.

must have been the way you cooked them

[Old School]

I cooked them the same way i cooked Cuda, hound fish, ladyfish, Gafftopsail catfish, puffers, mullet, flying fish lol. The only fish i would rate at the same level as a Bermuda chub is a sea cat. Many years ago before the advent of the internet i was into survival and working on a book on S. Fla fish and invertebrates, so i tried all sorts of critters and plants. I never published, but still have many books and notes on the subject.

Joes messing with you. He hates em so much he'll cut the line rather than touch em. And yeah, they suck ass!

Oh but ladyfish r quite tasty!

[Old School]

Actually all those fish i mentioned above are good to eat. I left out Angelfish since they are not legal to harvest nowadays. BTW many people on the other side of the world scrape the meat off the bones of tarpon and make fish balls out of them. They are considered as good as fish balls made from ladyfish in places like the Philippines.
