 Name That Fish
For all you Florida fish identification experts....Caught just off the beach in Panama City Beach. I am looking at a book titled "Florida Saltwater Fish ID" and can't make up my mind. Looks most like a picture of an Almaco Jack aka "Spanish Jack." ImageUploadedByTapatalk1373426413.086479.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1373426432.639855.jpg
Option "B" is a small Jack Crevalle as in this ID card.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1373426574.323337.jpg I was also thinking Pompano. But, the long pectoral fin cancels that thought. It also has a leading dorsal fin like the Jack Crevalle...just not the blunt snout. That is what's throwing me off I guess. What do you guys think?

 Re: Name That Fish
It did have dentures! I thought everything in salt water had teeth! LOL
What I call a Blue Fish is a Bonito in this book I have.

 Re: Name That Fish
Bonita is a member of the tuna family.They kinda look like a black fin but with some squiggly lines on the back. They're excellent cut bait.

 Re: Name That Fish
So, the LDWF link shows that fish with a short, rounded pectoral fin. The fish I had caught had a long, narrow pectoral.

 Re: Name That Fish
DFou, I think you have nailed it. That is this fish. I caught it trolling with a crank bait just off the surf.
Thanks, guys!
