Loons and red snapper are NOT protected under the Endangered Species Act, but loons are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, as are seagulls, robins, great blue herons, red-tailed hawks, etc. If you intentionally harass one, you will be fined.
Same with bluefin tuna, if you try to catch one on purpose you will be fined, if you hook one on accident, then its a different story.

Well let's see what federal agent would say? So you caught a endangered species and removed it from water ? But you took time to take a picture instead of getting back to water quickly
Here is your citation see u in federal court and you explain why you have a pic of a endanger species on the internet posing for pics
