Fish Identification

To the South Beaufort / Hilton Head

Hey does anyone know what kind of fish this is? How about limits? We released a number of these. I thought it was a type of grouper. I am bad about identifying grouper and I know there are tight regs on some of them. Wanted to be safe.

Thanks for any help!

That’s a pig fish. They’re fun to catch and very tasty !

Is that the same thing as a grunt?
