We usually see one of these a year.  In the past years Aaron aboard the Lady Margaret, Doc Herrick aboard the Dog and I caught one.  If you notice all three got landed in August with the warm water temps.

Triggerfish At Captain Joe’s

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Day before yesterday Aaron on The Lady Margaret brought in this Triggerfish.  In my 33 years down the dock and after handling a bajillion pounds of fish at our dock I’ve only seen a couple of these.  The wikipedia page on Triggerfish is pretty interesting.  It says they are normally found in warm coastal waters of the Atlantic, Mediterranean and the Indo-Pacific.  This one must have followed it’s way up the jet Gulf stream.

Video at 8AM Thursday where you can see just what happens to this particular fish.
