Mike, you literally just blew my mind with that Pacific tripletail!  WTF!?!?  Time to hit the bay I guess!

From what I hear, more than just that one have been caught. Good time to transplant some exotics!

Never heard of those here. I thought that was an east coast thing.

East coast
Gulf of Mexico

crazy catch?  how did it get here?  did that little critter swim all those miles with the warm water?  or have they been here for a while?

It's hard to tell these days whether it was placed in a bait well of a long range boat or made the journey.  There is new research out there that they do make long migrations and not just the Inshore-offshore ones on the Atlantic species which would seem reasonable if they moved offshore and rode the warm currents up to migrate inshore to our waters.  There are way too many variables to definately know for sure right now, but there is at least merit to those hyposthesis.
