I set the rod in the holder and tended to other things for a minute, letting the bait just sit near the bottom. And this thing bit on a large piece of cut-up grunt. It wasn't fighting long, just a few minutes.
I thought it might be a small nurse shark judging by how little it fought. But it turned out to be an amberjack. Just barely made the limit of 28 inches.

We always say of amberjacks: It's up to the fish whether you bring it in. You win when the critter makes a mistake.

That looks like an Almaco Jack very good eating unlike the Amber Jack the back dorsal fin looks long. Amber Jack are very good smoked. I target the Almaco’s and yellowtail snappers in the islands and keys. For sushi appetizers!!
Nice catch no matter how the flavor:
