It's a consensus: Hogfish which is a species of wrasse. I caught it off the jetty in Venice Florida.

Don’t know but kinda good looking in its own rights.
It is a Grunt. Usually more green than the pic. May just be the water here that determines color.

Heard back from Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, FourchonLa and ripogenu were spot on, It is a Hogfish, Lachnolaimus maximus, with sub-adult coloration. Thanks for your responses. 🤙🏼
