Conversation Between sam miller and Puffer Fish

  1. Sam... 27... Man, do I suddenly feel young (my compliments by the way)...well we called at a black grouper... but people keep changing names... we also used to call a fish a "black Snapper", and I see that is now something different (mangrove I believe).

    Anyway.. we only saw them in the Pacific when there was cold water.. around 55 degree water.. happens at the same time the middle of the Pacific was warm...Mine was the smallest one I could find...they were black.. and giant sized...don't know where they went when the water was warm...
