I have a cell phone pic I just need to find my cell phone
The story was we were both offshore (maybe 10 mi south of MV)and he passed by a bucket floating in the ocean, he saw a fish underneath it. He got out the landing net and made another pass, picked up the bucket and the fish in the net. He texted me a photo of it. He said it did not put up much of a fight. (It was/is still alive...) He kept it in the live well and later released it in the harbor after showing it to a few folks on the dock.
According to
Atlantic tripletail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
they do range as far as MA but I have never seen nor ever heard of one this far north.
