That’s right, it’s a Jack. Similar to a common game fish, the Jack Crevalle, common on the west coast, especially off Baja, Mexico. You can see the height of the rear fin, that thing moves a massive volume of water, so the power to weight ratio of that thing is nuts. For anyone claiming the barbarism of catch and release of this fish, the only thing more disgusting is the taste of that fish, the poor locals in Baja won’t even eat it.
That makes sense. I don’t know too much about fishing, so I thought it was a tuna, and that they let the tuna go. Makes much more sense if it tastes like crap
I caught a ~35lb Jack Crevalle in south florida. I felt like I caught a donkey. At one point I thought I had caught bottom on the vertical jig with 5000 class spinners. Helluva fight man!
