The wenchman snapper is a small, large-eyed fish that feeds primarily on fishes and are caught surprisingly often by anglers, who usually discard them because of unfamiliarity with the fish or their small size.
You can find the wenchman in deep waters, from 80 feet to 1,200 feet deep over hard, low-relief bottoms, but they can also be found on almost any bottom type except soft mud. The wenchman is one of the most common fish over the hard-bottomed areas of the middle to outer shelf.
The wenchman averages 1 pound or slightly under, but can reach 3 pounds.
