Captain Juan, he said that he had a "GT" in one photo. In anything other than south Florida deep drop speak, a "GT" is a Giant Trevally, not a Golden Tilefish. In Hawaii and other pacific areas they'll call them "Ulua." Trevallies are just pacific jack species. I don't think they're even from a different family taxonomically.

Regarding the other fish, the first ones look like a species of porgy, as Disco said. In the last photo there are triggerfish that look a lot like queen triggers, although I can't see the entire fish to be sure. Also, the grouper all the way on the righ looks to have the same body as a scamp, but different--and prettier--colors.
