It is a quite nice fish!!

Is it just me, or maybe the angle and the light........but that sure does look like a weakfish........

Congrats on the nice catch @ JoeG!! Beautiful fish 

Love this comment though, sent me down a rabbit hole of learning how to identify the difference between the 2 species (spots variation, color of fins, etc). I still cant though lol. Makes me think of how many times I've misidentified the two in the past

Nice fish either way! Congrats!

Nice one! I swear that looks like a hybrid weakfish/spotted seatrout
