- Walking the beach on Easter day we see a fisherman pulling in a fish. I'm not sure what kind it is and I couldn't understand what he was saying. let me know in the comments if you know what kind of fish it was. It was a beautiful day.

Small Jack Crevalle, but even the small ones fight like hell!
They are good as live bait for big fish like king mackerel
A little Jack… fun fighting fish!
Everybody I have fished with consider this fish(Jack Cravelle)a throw back variety.
Crevalle Jack. Fun to catch and release.
In Australia they are called golden trevally and believe me that is a small one
I used to surf fish every moment of my vacations. It was an addiction. One day I looked down at a new catch gasping on the sand. I put it back, put away my rod and never fished again. Years later, my brother told me about something curious that happened. He lived on the coast and, like me, was an avid fisherman. One day, he looked at the fish he had just caught gasping for air, became sickened by his selfishness and released it. He never fished again. We both no longer ate fish. We marveled that we had had the same experience. We both watch fish instead, he as a scuba diver and me as a snorkeler. I can’t scuba due to health issues.
Wow, same here. I just felt bad for them one day.
@@richardgrier8968. I grew up in Key West, Florida and spent most of my childhood knee deep in crystal clear water watching the sea life. I had to move away and always dreamed of having a marine aquarium. I finally achieved that dream in 2018. It took 6 months to get the tank established with happy, healthy underwater people. I am housebound and spent hours each day watching them. Each one had its own schedule and personality. You could set your watch by how accurately they kept schedule. We had a devastating hurricane hit our area. I had had to evacuate because they knew it was going to be catastrophic; it was. My town lost power for five days. I knew none of my creatures would have survived. It crushed me to come back knowing that they would be dead.
I found that they are so similar to us in so many ways, and as deserving of life. I fell in love with each one. I’ve never set my tank up again. I won’t until I have a generator.
😂😂😂
Omg Bing dongs
I feel so bad everytime I eat one ... Not
Jack Crevalle are in the same family as Trevally but they are not the same. Jack's are oily, greasy and smelly fish that are best released or used as crab bait. I caught one years ago before I understood how rank they are and filleted it, put it in zip lock bags and put it in my refrigerator overnight. The meat looked like calves liver. My cats would not eat it. It stunk up the refrigerator so bad my wife made to empty it and wipe it down with Clorox. Anything that smelly fishy got tossed.
From what I understand, Trevally are excellent table fare.
Not quite Homer .
We call that a Golden Trevally in Australia 🇦🇺 good eating on a bbq
Too oily and boney for eating... Throw back or use for bait...
In the 1860s a family friend was fishing in Caddo Lake in N.Louisiana and caught a fish even the state fish expert in the Conservation Dept. couldn't identify. It was about 14 inches long and shaped like a catfish. It also had skin like a catfish, not scales. It was black and had large pointed sharp teeth about 3/4 inch long upper and lower jaw. It waould make you not want to swim in that lake it was so scary looking. 😮( 1960s not 1860s. Although I feel that old sometimes.)
Yes I did not even get to see it either😂
Before it becomes "lunch" better identify and check the regs. It's a small Crevalle Jack. They are usually not protected.
Jack Crevalle. We have a lot of the in Florida. We usually release them. They put up a great fight.
Looks like a Jack Crevalle
Thanks!
In New Zealand we call them trevally
That's a Jack. Large family of fish with many different species found worldwide mostly in tropical and sub-tropical waters. Most Jacks have that same body and fin shape. Most are nearshore hunters and spend their days scouring the reef and shallows and they're often semi-pelagic when mature with a few completely pelagic and deepwater species. Basically the hunter of the reefs and sand flats. Some jacks hunt with other fish or even eels and octopus in pairs or small packs. The eel, octopus, or other fish will often flush out prey from holes and crevices and the jack will often chase prey into holes or crevices. Easy to imagine how this works very well creating a dilemma for the prey animal. Fascinating fish. Good fighter. Excellent for the table.
Great information. Thank you
Great fighting fish, but very bony and not well regarded as table fare.
It’s amazing that there are some cultures that will eat anything. Maybe being from a country with so much we have learned to be a bit picky.
Jack Crivelle
It's a Jack fish. A very strong fighting fish
Jack Crevalle.
This may sound unreal but the first time i went fishing off a pier with my friend i cast out my line after thinking my bait was gone i reeled it in and i had caught a conch 😮to those who don't know what it is it's a critter that lives in a shell
The only time I tried surf fishing all I caught was starfish!
The rads have reached their DNA !
my husband went deep sea fishing once and brought home a Chinese Ling. We didn't know what it was at the time. I wouldn't even let him bring it in the house. it gave me a weird feeling.
We call them papio if under 10 lbs , over 10 lbs becomes ulua. Not bad eating, hard fighting fish best to release them😊
That’s a jack that are not good to eat it’s all bones and mush
jack all the way....& by the way they are good eating fried right in the pan; fillet, bread, fry
Blue fin tuna
Lol.
Not all fish are exactly that edible. If it is awful tasting, use it for cut bait.
Yea, go ahead and eat the jack. You'll be picking bones the whole time you are eating it.
If you dont know the most common fish in the ocean, you probably don't know that many fish.
I don't
@@caitlinsturn5003 Fair enough. They are tough fighters, but not great for the table. Most anglers throw them back. They can get pretty big. I've seen them in the 25-30 lb range on occasions. They are voracious predators. If there is something stirring the water near a hungry school of Jack Crevalle, it will get slammed. They will often chase other hooked Jack, trying to eat what's in the other Jack's mouth.
What type of fish ? A wet one .
The kind you eat.
Fishing is so mean, why would anyone want to torture another living being like that
Spanish Mackerel.
Not even close.
@@williamwilson6499 Damn. 😄
