Rare catch

First one I've seen on BWE caught in California might be an illegal transplant according to the DFG.

definitely looks like a broomtail grouper. I was considering gulf grouper or black grouper as well, but the major identifier here is the pattern between the gill plate and dorsal fin.

broomtail = dark oval, with a white oval inside of it.

super nice catch!
