I’ve been here for two years now and I’m still learning the “fishermen’s nicknames” for various saltwater fish, and reading some of the posts lately tells me I’m not the only one who doesn’t know them all. ( ie. reef-donkey for amberjack, peanut for small dolphin ) Would someone please answer this post and enlighten the rest of us with some of these nick-names? Thanks
