Hey everyone,
I caught this fish a few days ago while bottom fishing off Cancún, Mexico, in about 200 feet of water. I’m thinking it might be some porgy (maybe a deepwater or knobbed type?), but I’m not totally sure.
The fish was caught on squid bait near a rocky structure, and the coloration looked darker in person — kind of purplish around the head and lighter toward the tail.
If anyone has seen something similar, I’d really appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks!
