Cant find any ref that matches up to this little snapper...any ideas?

Here in Jamaica we call that a silk. Another name I have heard here and in the Bahamas is a deep water welchman. Whatever the name they are some fine eating. enjoy.

thanks i thought it was a silk but the book i have shows a black outline on tail fin. this guy was little so maybe immature. 700ft deep

in Jamaica we catch them from 1/2lb to close to 10lbs. Very prolific here.

That's not a proper silk snapper, I can say that for sure.

Look's like a Green Snapper

I catch them in the Bahamas 650-700 Feet, exellent eating. :lol:

Disco you are correct it is a greeny

Belize · 09-07-2006, 10:26 PM

well thanks

excellent eating they were...green snapper...I wonder where the green is in them? or where the name originated

Belize · 09-11-2006, 09:45 AM

wenchman (yellow eye) is my final bet. good eating but soft meat

Belize · 09-11-2006, 10:08 AM

correction - wenchman or big eye
