yep, a parrotfish, they're good fighters for sure but IMO they dont taste that good to be a keeper, my daughter caught one some years ago and we took it home, tried it out but after that I have never keep a parrotfish ever, also local sealife Gov departments recommend us to dont kill parrofish because they keep the Coral-reefs in good shape.

PS: she's now almost finishing University  

That thing could eat coral algae through a knot hole in a fence!

Here they have been making a big deal about not killing parrotfish.  As it turns out, much of the island's sand is created by parrotfish chewing up coral.  Saving the parrotfish is like saving the sunbathing beaches.

Besides, our local parrotfish can have ciguatera like most of the other reef fish.

Hmmm, have yet to kill one, good to know, now I won't.

Parrotfish. In Florida they fall under the "marine life" regulations and can only be harvested alive for aquarium use and must be under 12". They do, however, allow them to be imported as food product as they are quite popular among certain ethnic communities especially Jamaicans.
As mentioned earlier, the Japanese Sea Bream is a type of Porgy. They look a lot like the Red Porgies we have in Florida.
