The one on top is a Lizzardfish, and I am pretty sure you know what the one on the bottom is.

Yea, bottom pic is my signature! LOL

Thanks, everybody I asked at work was telling me it was a snakefish so I guess they had their animals mixed up! Not exactly what I was looking forward to catching, but any fish is better than an empty hook!!

Snakehead kind of looks like that but in fresh water. I hear them lizzard make great grouper bait when nothing else is biting.

Their great snook bait as well!

Live bait or cut?

Live but it all depends on where you fish. I know at the Naples pier, a lizardfish would result in a snook hookup within 5 minutes.
I havent had much luck with it in the miami area.

I caught a big lizardfish vertical jigging off the sea legs one time, was not expecting it at all.
