I looked at the picture on Google and they look alike....but that is not it. This fish has very lavender lower fins and that real prominent red spot at the base of the tail... It could be a juvenile version but it would have to change a lot as an adult if that is it...

10-4........i had never seen a juvy longtail before but that looks like what a mature one should look like when a juvenile....glad you got the answer........

He was vented and released. He swam away... If he did live...he will probably remember the experience.

We caught a much larger version of the second fish (Spanish Flag) dropping in 350 ft. on Fri. Glad to know what it is now. Do either have a size limit? We didn't keep it since we couldn't identify it, but rare fish would be nice to know size limits.

Unless the fish is mentioned in the regulations there is no size limit. Since I would consider this a reef fish he would count in your 20 fish per person reef fish limit.

Here is a better picture of a Spanish Flag Fish from the internet...also the site said they get up to two pounds. Yours may have been a new world record.
