Yes, it is a Black Snapper.
I've caught a very few over the years when fishing for Tile fish, usually straight off the Ball at Juno/Lost Tree 3 1/2 to 4 miles offshore, or at the Tiger Bowl, 6 miles off Delray. I've never caught one in less than 300' of water, and most have been 600'+. The last one I caught was in the mid 1990's.
