Wrong, this delectable morsel is not found in Atlantic waters. <A HREF="http://www.panamasportsman.com" target="_new">http://www.panamasportsman.com</A>

Ok, my mistake. Since you know what it is what do you call it?

Nope, that would be too easy. <A HREF="http://www.panamasportsman.com" target="_new">http://www.panamasportsman.com</A>

This species has lot's of different common names and comes in a range of sub species including Golden Trevally, Big Eye etc. Found in tropical, sub tropical waters. To many anglers that's a GT in your pic, Giant Trevally, and the lateral tail line will cut your hands if a glove is not worn. Therefore, the gaff in the picture, although a glove would have been better if not being kept/eaten. Look a bit like this one here? Sure does! <IMG SRC="http://www.uq.net.au/demonjigs/images/mjbgt.jpg"> More details here <A HREF="http://www.kenschultz.com/template2.asp?fishname=TREVALLY" target="_new">http://www.kenschultz.com/template2.asp?fishname=TREVALLY</A> Also take a look at the GT thread here at Capt. Dan's board. Burnin Thumbs! Steve B Moderator Lures/Baits Forum <A HREF="http://www.demonjigs.com" target="_new">http://www.demonjigs.com</A>

Oh Dan, Didn't you have your glasses on when you looked at the photo? Got color problems on your monitor? It's obviously a G.T. (Giant Trevally, Ulua aukea, White Ulua, caranx ignobilis) and not an Omilu (bluefin trevally, Caranx melampygus). That size is pretty good eating. From the position of the gaff though, it looks like it might have been still releasable. Capt.

G'ay Tom Yep a useful link I agree for quick references. This species are real tropical groupies and as Burak mentioned, hole up around reef areas. Make for a lot of fun with clients on double and triple hook ups at times too. I noticed the rapala and down this way they love poppers with purple and green on them - worked super fast across the surface - or the humble as ever, white bucktail/yak hair jig with a HD 7/0 hook in the rear. More often than not the jig will out gun just about everything else in this part of the world. Part of the reason I am such a jig fan. They also make for a great tropical curry if you cube the fillet and add some coconut milk, sweet chilli etc. Into the Western pacific and also to our north, they get in to XXXOS sizes as can be seen in Jeff's pic above.

I have yet to hook one on a jig or popper. They tend to be very shy hanging, very close to white water off the rocks near very deep water. The water must be pristine before they show up which makes them even more shy. We get our best results trolling too close for comfort near the white water which is just as likely to result in a roosterfish. As usual, I have lost too much tackle chasing these little devils. <A HREF="http://www.panamasportsman.com" target="_new">http://www.panamasportsman.com</A>

Tom Givce jigs or poppers a go. Jigs first and I am sure you will not have to troll so close. Let me know how you go as they should hit the jigs hard. All white is usually the best. Burnin Thumbs!

I’m Sticking with Omilu… Look at the bottom of tail & the bit of blue on the fin above the anal… & then when he says they average that size with big ones going 25 lbs…. HMMMM….`sounds like a Blue Fin Trevelly ta me. Also, if ya look real close, you kin clearly see… THAT’S a BeeG CiGAR !!! [blush] they should take poppers & jigs once ya locate them. if it makes any difference, I’m smelling one as I write this, got it at the breakwater this morning… MMMMMM ALOHA Dan Stand Up!!! <A HREF="http://www.fishingkauai.com" target="_new"> Stand Up Fish`N Charters Kauai Hawai </A> [ Wink

Upon closer examination you will notice that the cigar is a cuban "Punch". Seems that a fine cigar never interferes with great fishing. There was quite a variety of cubanos consumed by the crew on that visit. <A HREF="http://www.panamasportsman.com" target="_new">http://www.panamasportsman.com</A>
