Yep, bottom one is a almaco, we caught several lesser jacks and showed the kids the markings on them to make sure they were released.
On another note, I can not remember ever fishing the GoM this late in the year for snapper. I did it this year due to the BP oil spill thing and was "fish poor" in the freezer. This past weekend we caught the most impressive box of fish we have in awhile. Unique thing to me was the number of small fish we saw, caught, or just had around us at one time. We caught juvenile red snapper which were mayber 8" long while trying to catch bait on the way out, and I have never done that before. I was impressed by the condition of the Gulf and it seems we are in good shape for the future of the fishery.
