I've been catching these every night by the dozens. They're bigger than the one in the picture (not me)...my "Sport fish of the Gulf of Mexico" guide says the bigger ones make good table fare...I know a grouper would inhale these big guys but, I'm pretty sure we won't make it into the gulf tomorrow 
anyone eat these? I've got about 20 in a large pen right now wondering if I should eat some or wait on a offshore trip...big ones are fun to catch on ultralite tackle...these fish are in the 12"+/- range...

| Grunts and Grits!!! I know people do eat them but I have never. Not a whole lotta meat on them. I always use them for bait. They are kinda fun on light tackle.

I now people do eat them, but they are killer as bait. Specks, reds, grouper, blacktips and kings like them.

| They are one of the best baits for big specks anywhere!

I will eat them. They are a pain in the ass when they come inshore. So I will eat everyone or cut them up for bait.

They taste like red snapper, but not as good as a squirell fish.
