I believe that top fish is called a Sgt Major.

Those pics sure bring back a lot of memories of the 5 years I spent in the islands. I've caught every species you posted except the blue spot grouper using small pieces of squid for bait. One thing about reef fishing, you never know what will bite next.

Did you keep any of the goatfish? Locals refer to them as weke - pronounced veh-KEH. They are great steamed, but you gotta use chopsticks to pick around all the bones).
