Awesome report Timmy.


The difference between a juvenile king mackerel (kingish) and a Spanish mackerel. Juvenile kingfish and mature Spanish mackerel are often caught in the same areas when the kingfish are running and are often of the same size.The two main things to look for are the lateral lines and the dorsal fins. A juvenile kingfish’s lateral line dips significantly compared to a Spanish mackerel. Also the dorsal fin of a juvi kingfish will be a much lighter color, more of a gray or white color than the Spanish, whose fin will be black or very dark in color. The Pic really helps see the difference in the two. Hope this helps you out.
