A large flock of pelicans that were gorging on mullet packed up and left as soon as the school surfaced.. chomping.. the sound of their jaws snapping shut was enough to scare the birds off.. always wondered if they knew they would be missing their feet if they had stayed.


That is a beautiful fish!

Jacks are fun in the right situations...but if we are talking about "if you have the Guts" nothing compares to their cousins in the Trevally family.

Tevally and Jack Crevalle both belong to the same family, Carangidae. The mighty giant trevally (Caranx ignobilis) is highly regarded among anglers for their sheer size and tenacity. They are one of the largest species within the Carangidae family and can weigh well over 100 pounds up to 300 pounds have been reported.

Imagine standing on sandy beach with a fly round in hand doing battle with the Giant Trevally. Few things in this life can rival that...if you have the guts

My personal best GT was "only" 50 pounds and I can't imagine 300 pounds of that fury.

My personal best Bluefin Trevally was also one of the largest ever seen on this South Pacific island going 24 lbs.

I’m sure I’ll never get to he opportunity, but GTs have always been at the top of my wish list.

I hope you do...and if you do for sure take it. Nothing out there can compare IMO.

Unfortunately, my age probably means I'll never get another shot.

If you're talking cat food fish, or fertilizer fish, then probably so.
