You must use non-offset, non-stainless steel circle hooks while fishing for or possessing snapper grouper species while using natural baits. A non-offset hook has the point and barb in-line with the hook shank. Also, you must possess a descending device on board that is readily available for use while fishing for or possessing snapper grouper species. A descending device is defined as an instrument capable of releasing the fish at the depth from which the fish was caught, and to which is attached a minimum of a 16-ounce weight and a minimum of a 60-ft length of line.

Total length means the straight line distance from the most forward point of the head with the mouth closed, to the farthest tip of the tail with the tail compressed or squeezed, while the fish is lying on its side.

Snapper, Blackfin
