Five-spotted Wrasse
Symphodus roissali

Fiveline Cardinalfish
Cheilodipterus quinquelineatus
The Fiveline Cardinalfish is a small nocturnal reef fish from the Indo-Pacific, commonly sheltering in caves and coral branches by day and foraging at night. It is not a major angling target and is best treated as a reef-associated species of interest to divers and aquarium observers.
Flagtail Grouper
Cephalopholis urodeta
Flagtail Grouper (Cephalopholis urodeta) is a small reef grouper of the Indo-Pacific, usually found on coral-rich drop-offs and lagoon reefs. It is an ambush predator that feeds mainly on small fishes and crustaceans and is occasionally taken by line anglers.
Flagtail Triggerfish
Sufflamen chrysopterum
Flagtail Triggerfish is a reef-associated triggerfish of the Indo-Pacific that uses rubble slopes and outer reef drop-offs, where it grazes hard-shelled prey. It is not a major game fish; anglers target it only incidentally or for reef fishing interest.
Flathead Catfish
Pylodictis olivaris
Flathead Catfish (Pylodictis olivaris) is a large North American catfish that lives in big rivers, reservoirs, and deep holes with cover. It is a nocturnal ambush predator that mainly eats live fish, making it a prized big-fish target.
Flier
Centrarchus macropterus
The flier is a small North American sunfish with a very deep body and a dark spot at the rear of the dorsal fin. It is a warmwater, freshwater species common in vegetated ponds, swamps, and slow streams, and is a minor angling fish rather than a major game species.
Floral Maori Wrasse
Cheilinus chlorourus

Florida Bass
Micropterus salmoides
Florida Bass is a largemouth bass subspecies native to peninsular Florida, widely stocked and introduced elsewhere. It is a warmwater ambush predator that favors vegetated, slow-moving freshwater and is prized by anglers for its size potential and aggressive strikes.
Florida Gar
Lepisosteus platyrhincus
Florida Gar is a native southeastern U.S. gar found mainly in sluggish freshwater rivers, lakes, canals, and swamps. It has a broad snout, heavy armor-like scales, and a row of sharp teeth for ambush feeding on fish and crustaceans.
Florida Pompano
Trachinotus carolinus
Florida pompano is a fast, highly prized coastal game fish found on sandy surf beaches and inlets, especially along the western Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. It feeds heavily on small crustaceans and baitfish, and is known for strong runs on light tackle.
Flowery Rockcod
Epinephelus fuscoguttatus
Flowery Rockcod is a large Indo-Pacific grouper that lives on coral and rocky reefs, often along drop-offs and lagoon slopes. It is an ambush predator of fishes and crustaceans and is valued as a table fish, though big reef fish can pose ciguatera risk in some areas.
