“Hooked into some mutton mayhem—these fish don’t play!” Fishing muttons and absolutely killed it! 💥 These fish put up such a solid fight—nothing like that deep bend and the pull from the bottom. Mutton snapper are no joke… beautiful colors, sharp instincts, and one of the best-tasting fish out there. Throwback but we need to get back out there ASAP! Let’s run it back 🎣🔥 Quick Mutton Snapper Facts: • Found in the Atlantic and Gulf, especially around reefs and wrecks • Known for strong, stubborn runs after the hookset • Can grow up to 30 lbs, but most catches range from 5–15 lbs • Change color from reddish to silvery depending on depth • Spawning peaks in late spring to early summer—perfect timing right now
