Scamp (http://www.fishbase.org/Photos/PicturesSummary.cfm?ID=1213&what=species) Yellowmouth (http://www.fishbase.org/Photos/PicturesSummary.cfm?StartRow=3&ID=1211&what=species)

Yep, yellowmouth.

Junior, do you use Scott's Super Bonus S on that yard. Or is that Ground up natural fertilizer? Either way, you must spend some quality time on the yard mowing and watering.

PS. My vote is yellowmouth.

[Marcus]

His wife takes care of the lawn. Otherwise, it'd be dead. :)

Chemlawn and the neighborhood lawn mowing guy leaves me just enough time to keep the boat running long enough to shoot an occasional fish:D Reclaimed water irrigation system don't hurt neither.

Yellowmouth. In the Gulf, I've never seen a Yellowmouth north of the Middle Grounds. Scamp are much more common in the middle and northern Gulf. Yellowmouth are more common in the southern Gulf. The rec fishing record for yellowmouth is only slightly over 8 pounds. The record for Scamp is pushing 30 pounds. Yellowmouth do not have the "streamers' on their tails that Scamp have, and the head is a different shape, especially the mouth. They also act quite differently in the water. When you see a picture of a giant yellowmouth from the northern gulf, its a Scamp.

Yellowmouth.....aka "Broomtail"

[junior]

If I'm not mistaken, that fish was taken in ~145fsw somewhere between the grounds and the elbow.

[Marcus]

You are mistook. It was took in the northern grounds in 90'. :)

My bad Mr. Yellowmouth Broomtail killing man. I'm suprised you could keep 'em all straight considering the grotesque mass of fish that you layed to waste on that fine day:cool: :D
