I think that is a scamp or yellow mouth grouper. Pretty sure not a gag due to the spots, yellow mouth, and sharper fins.

That's a gag grouper.
This type of nose-assist hook jig is not as versatile as the tail, single hook Crippled Herring (CH), or Kandlefish (KF)type-metal jigs. They are not only deadly for vertical jigging but also for casting & trolling. Versatility is the key for these two all-purpose jigs. Never have I hooked a chinook salmon, in over several thousand caught, with these nose-assist hooked jigs, whether jigging , casting or trolling. In comparison, I can fish the CH, or KF,-type metal jigs very effectively between Florida and Alaska. My fellow jigging guides agree with me on the versatility.

Great list of jigs, however you left out the all time favorite Diamond jig lots of sizes and finishes have probably caught more fish over time than all others combined

24 Great Metal Jigs
Think if you've seen one jig, you’ve seen ’em all? If so, you must not be a hard-core jig fisherman. If you’re serious about catching fish, you have to be serious about jigs. The darn hunks of various alloys have nearly universal appeal to most finny predators. Let’s be clear up front: All 24 of these jigs work; all will catch fish. But the jig style/design/size/color notwithstanding, the guy yankin’ on the rod plays a huge role in making any jig effective. Or put another way, a lousy jig in skilled hands will usually out-fish a great jig in hands that haven’t a clue.
While this list includes lots of popular jigs, many more designs by many manufacturers are out there, waiting to be tied on and tried. What are your favorites? Speak up in our Readers’ Favorite Jig poll at sportfishingmag.com/favoritejigs.
