If any of you catch one of these guys what ever you do DON'T THROW IT BACK ALIVE! I didn't realize they had made it this far north. Apparently they eat everything in site and take over reefs like the plague. Any of you seen one?

I hear they taste like chicken.
Here I come... :banana:
Ok, yes, you can eat these guys... :eat:
...however, don't. :spank:
I caught one of these back in 2009 and was very surprised to see it--was in Dauphin Island. Started catching them randomly throughout the following years as well.
Very, very destructive to our habitat--and primarily due to lack of predators to keep populations under control.
Please make sure these get turned in frozen WHOLE to:
