keenfisho 1,416 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 I took this photo today, not caught and left by me but I'm intrigued as to what species they are. Once we have all agreed on the species I will then tell you where I took the pic as that could start a whole other debate......again Brankim 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Looks too slender to be a silver trevally, but the tail looks similar to an trev..... But the slenderness looks like a rat kingy...... Hard to say... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keenfisho 1,416 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Pic doesn't show it but looking through the water the tail tips had a yellowish look, my first thought was rat kings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oldmate 46 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Southie's got a good point there bit to slender to be trevally! I'd put my money on kings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plankton 725 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Not sure, but kingfish sounds right. Now, please tell me it's West Lakes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kuerschie 2,309 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Yeah the dorsal fin looks very similar to a kingfish and the forked tail and slim body makes me think Kingfish as well. Also the colour of the flesh in the photo looks similar to ones I have observed in the lab, with the flesh darkening due to oxidation. plankton 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
