Fish ID
Submitted by Goodz on Thu, 2011-08-11 20:03
Caught this little guy out on the FFB today from a school of Skippy... thought it was one at first but the yellow dots and blue fins are obviously not normal for a skippy. Haven't seen a trevally like this before, just a random or some other northern species a bit lost?

I'm guessing a thicklip trevally?? Also known as a False Bluefin and have been known to be caught down here.
