fishing user avatarslonezp reply : 

J Franco,

I know you can differentiate the male and female of the salmonoids by the jaw. Extends past the eye it's a male if it doesn't it's a female. Would you or anyone else know if that applies to other fish species?


fishing user avatarJ Francho reply : 

Some yes, others no. Some, there's no physical difference.

I don't use it for our trout. I go be mouth shape, body shape, as well as mouth to tell, outside of the spawning runs. During the spawn, the kype jaw is a tell tale sign it's a male.

I typed it wrong , it is a trumpet fish.

Guess I had triggers on the mind when I saw the pic. Trigger fish make a wonderful meal, the fellow I go out with on Saturdays always uses a chicken rig to grab a few for dinner, he loves them. I believe but not sure Queen triggers are not legal to keep in Florida, I may be wrong.

I'm pretty sure they are legal to photograph in their natural environment, LOL.

That was my favorite fish of that season, LOL. It was a very spunky little brown that attacked my rig twice in the "tune up" hole. These tribs have a very healthy, naturally reproducing population of browns. Almost too healthy.

Yup! Without a doubt, the most fun I've had with a rod and reel (so far :)). Here's a little more of that fish, which I still watch at least once a week. Hehe...
