undrtkr_00 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 So over the weekend I was watching Man vs. Wild, and he speared (and then cooked and ate) a HUGE trigger off the coast of Panama. Must have been about 2' long or so. Really impressive looking fish, though it wasn't all that colorful. Made me wonder - how big do triggers get?

impur Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hmmm my first thought was how do triggers taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Dr. Burgess's largest listed trigger in his book as 76cm (roughly 30 inches) 1 inch = 2.54 cm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfisher Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hmmm my first thought was how do triggers taste. A little more fishy than Parrot fish if I remeber correctly, but we were open pit cooking and added nothing but wet leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undrtkr_00 Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hmmm my first thought was how do triggers taste. I think it is a requirement of the show that everything he eats on camera has to be nasty (laugh). They probably taste like they've been eating snails and crabs...
