Philippines fish

[kevinl4270]

Shot this three days ago in the Philippines.
I was in about 60 feet of water.
Fish is approximately two and half to three feet long.
Color was silver/gray.
When I saw it live, I thought Dorado, but tail looks wrong in this pic.
DM was not sure what it was.
Thanks for any help.

Looks like a type of snapper called a Green Jobfish, Aprion virescens. I ran it through Photoshop to get rid of the haze and show a bit more detail.

Thank you Jim, I think you nailed it. I never would have thought to look at the snapper family. I had no idea that any of the snappers can get that big.
I appreciate the help.
