Whats this fish?

[warti]

Got this fish not long ago, i knew it was different a soon as i saw it. Look similar to a few fish in the same family but took me a while to find the real identification of it. Look closely as the differences are minor.It is a saltwater fish. Good luck identification gurus.

A man may almost suggest that it could be a member of the lutjanid family; looks a bit similar to a jack...

Is it a member of the Lutjanids??

Looks very much like a red bass has same fins and tail.

Ive caught a number of these usually in 80 meters of water. Im sure there the same fish but larger, and like trout when caught in deeper water thet are more red in colour. Lutjanus Lemniscatus ...foxy
