Gray Triggerfish, also known as Filefish, Leatherjacket, or pig-faced fish, is a prized catch at Chipper’s Clipper in Orange Beach. These fish are known for their sharp teeth and distinct appearance. They can grow up to 28 inches long and weigh as much as 13 lbs, though they are more commonly found around 17 inches and 1-3 lbs. Gray Triggerfish is renowned for its delicate, crab-like flavor, often considered one of the best-tasting fish in the Gulf. To catch these fish, we recommend a 6+ hour trip using bottom fishing techniques. Contact Captain Chip Day and get your fishing excursion started today!
