fantastic size! rs- ruby snapper
peace on earth.. hehehee his 2nd catch!
etelis carbunculus (ruby snapper) color implies on its back, upper sides and all fins in deep pink to red, white or pinkish on the lower sides & belly... dorsal & anal fin bases without scales
inhabit rocky bottoms and feed on smaller fish, squid, shrimp and crabs.. high-speed jigging too! (25 rs were hooked.. tiredness had made them to depart the spot. hope those deepwater snappers 're still active & boogieing, now)
