Re: John's Snapper
Thanks Pat, I think we're still lacking several species in both salt and freshwater. You can refer to the sticky on some of the fish that I need pictures of.

Re: John's Snapper
Thanks for the name, DatoJohn. Are you referring to Malaysia in terms of your locality?

Re: John's Snapper
Yeah, it’s one of the most popular snapper around. Some anglers might mistake it for ‘Tetanda’ or some in Borneo called it unga, but here in the west coast, we called it Jenahak. A pretty smart fish as they can steal your bait without knowing. Fresh squid are their favorite and packed a pretty good fight when hooked.

Re: John's Snapper
Interesting, it shows the importance of addressing the fish's name to its locality. Here in Singapore, we actually call it Unga.
