Looks like you had a good peddle from King Harbor to Haggarty's. Always a good trip when one crosses a fish off the bucket list -- Congratulations! A sheephead would be expected, but triggerfish? Decades ago that was a rare catch, are they more common today? In SE Florida they can be pretty aggressive. One would normally target them with small weighted bait, but I have taken them trolling Rapalas, and this one somehow got hooked on a big circle hook while fishing a live goggle-eye for sailfish.
