That's a Chinese puppy drum with developmental issues. His family calls him Sum Ting Wong.

Thanks...
Any kind of info on the Pigfish? I looked but it's not really talked about. I never saw one inland or offshore before. Are they supposed to be reef fish?

I am pretty sure it is a grey snapper. How big was it? Where did you catch it?
