Gray triggerfish size limit to increase in Atlantic state waters effective July 9

An increase of the minimum size limit of gray triggerfish in Atlantic state waters will take effect beginning July 9.

At its April 15 meeting in Tallahassee, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) approved increasing the minimum size limit of gray triggerfish in Atlantic state waters from 12 inches fork length to 14 inches fork length.

This change makes Atlantic state water regulations consistent with new federal regulations. The change also makes the minimum size limit for gray triggerfish in Atlantic state waters (from shore to 3 nautical miles) the same as it is in Gulf state waters (from shore to 9 nautical miles). This minimum size limit applies to both recreational and commercial harvest.

But that's an ocean tally not a grey trigger.

I didn't know there was a dif. until now. I always though they were just called Tally when they got big

Just saw this thread here, and just posted another question on triggerfish, not certain of the name but I have seen some pretty colorful triggers wondering if those are also legal to shoot?
