Nope, but I do believe it is in the snapper family though.
I have over 2100 days logged in the gulf, 80% of those days were fishing for red snapper, so I've seen my share of juvenile red snappers. Hope that didn't sound like I was being a jerk, and I really do appreciate you trying to help.
I doubt this is a rare fish, just rare in our area.

90' of water. We had a small storm recently and the fish was probably blown in from shallower waters from it.
Thank you all for the ID, I really don't think I would've figured that one out.
