Probably not an unusual catch on a popper,but how big does the Napolean Wrasse grow & is the small fish in the last two pictures a juvenile of the same species?Both were caught in New Caledonia,big fish from outside the reef & small fish inside the lagoon.Thanks.

Hi Michael
I caught a Napoleon  in the Andamans and was told that they are born as females and only the biggest fish in a population will be a male and colour would turn to green, so when a male dies or swims away the biggest remaining female turn gender. Not sure if it is wright or i was told a story.
