The carp looking fish was caught from Lake Limestone in Texas and the eel like fish caught in Florida- think it may be a hogfish? Not sure. Please pray for my friend from Iceland who caught the hogfish- he had a heart attack but is doing ok in hospital

No idea on the fish. Prayers for your friend.

This is a Lizard Fish (Florida Lizard Fish) common in brackish saltwater all through Florida! They are quite common to most experienced Florida fishermen! There are 2 types--the Banded Lizard Fish and the Spotted Lizard Fish. I suggest buying the book "The Fisherman's Guide to Florida Saltwater Fish "before" going fishing in Florida--it will enlighten you as to what you can keep (or what you can't), and may also keep you from getting seriously ill from eating or handling some species that are extremely poisonous!

Thanks Andre but this is definitely a trumpet or cornet fish- Lizard fish looks nothing like it, thanks anyway

I believe the 1st photo is a Tilapia. Don't know about the second one.

It looks very much like a Buffalo Fish especially the shape of it’s body. BUT, it appears to have. barbels under it’s chin. That would make it a Carp. Maybe it’s pregnant and that would distort the shape.
Lots of guesses about the 2nd fish. Some are saying Coronet Fish, Trumpet Fish etc. The mouth and the fin behind it’s head makes me think it’s some sort of Eel.
I honestly couldn’t find it.

The carp is a carp..that long slender fish I think is a pipefish

When your friend recovers send him this thread and ask for his input please.

There are several carp species, but this one looks a little disproportionate to me. Contact your local fish and game and text him the photo and I'm sure you'll get an accurate answer. Let us know what he says.

P.S. I have my local F&G Officer on my phone. If I am out fishing and encounter an issue, I have his number readily at hand. Has come in handy several times. Have used it several times with dangerous boater, and poachers, etc.

Here in Indiana game officers are called Conservation Officers. My Grandfather was James Dallas Pitzer the only Conversation Officer shot and killed in the line of duty. He was murdered by a poacher. Every year the Pitzer award is given out to the Outstanding Conservation Officer for the entire state of Indiana.
