CREVALLE JACK


(Caranx hippos) Enlarged scales or shutes extending in a line to the base of the tail fin. There is a rounded black spot at the lower base of the pectoral fin, found in no other jacks.

World Record: 57 lb 5 oz, Barra do Kwanza, Angola, 1992. The breast is bright yellow, and there is a dark spot at the upper back edge of the gill cover. Know as "one of the strongest fighting fish of the gulf". Crevalle jacks have variously been described as coastal pack wolves. The flesh of crevalles is extremely bloody. Not recommended for eating unless you are very near starving.
