This was caught on one of our recent offshore bottom fishing trips in 230 ft. This should be easy for the Gulf fisherman

Bluff has one of it's names but I'm giving him any credit because he took a wild guess.

I am no expert on fish ID, but I do not think that is a Snowy Grouper. Snowies have round white dots on them and when they get large they sometimes lose those spots.
