I'll bite: what's a tripletail?

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Cool I love seeing the different fish that come during the heat of summer. I saw triggerfish a week ago finning on the surface.

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.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

That attached picture isn't a triple tail. Not sure exactly what. But it's not a triple tail

"Juvenile Atlantic tripletails are colored a mottled yellow, brown, and black. Adults are jet black. When it lies on its side at the surface, the tripletail is sometimes confused for a floating mangrove leaf. The juveniles have white pectoral fins and a white margin on the caudal fin. Adult tripletails have varied mottled color patterns which range from dark brown to reddish brown, often with a tint of gray."

When I first looked at it I thought it was some kind of grouper but after staring at the tail fins and looking online I thought it looked more like a juvenile triple tail.
I know the larger ones are more brown and less molted. Few fish have a tail fin arrangement like that.
I sent the photo off to a fisheries expert...I will let you know what he says.

I'm going to go with juvenile wreckfish. Polyprion americanus.
range Newfoundland to FL, juveniles found pelagic and under flotsam. Sought commercially and for sport, so sounds like good eating.
