    In florida we call those “jacks” mangrove snapper or gray snapper. They look slightly different but almost identical. About that size in the intracoastal areas around mangroves and bridges but further offshore in 60-80 feet we get them up to about 8 lbs. Your “jacks” seem to have a much bigger eye mainly. Probably used to be the same fish but now genetically different from pacific to Atlantic. You have a lot of similar fish. Your “flattie” closely resembles our lizard fish. Your GT is very much like our Jack Crevalle. You have another fish that looks very much like our schoolmaster snapper and dog snapper. You call “gar” what we call ballyhoo. Lots of exact same fish like mahi, cobia and wahoo. Strange how some fish species you have, we don’t ever see but some we have the exact same thing. I wish we had coral trout. Here it would be some kind of grouper. They’re definitely in the grouper family. I haven’t seen any fish here with meat that pure white and flaky with zero blood line. Looks amazing. I’d pay you a lot of money to send me one.
    You should book a trip to florida I’d love to take you fishing. I could put you on whatever you want to catch just about guaranteed. Easily sailfish, Big mutton snapper, 150 lb tarpon, 20 lb snook, big grey grouper, king mackerel, blackfin tunas, dolphin, cobia, you name it. Book and air bnb, I’ll take a few days off work and we’ll go ham anytime from April - August the fishing is on fire, bait everywhere.
