From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The bluefin trevally or bluefin jack, Caranx melampygus, is a fish found in the tropical waters of the Pacific from the west coast of Central America to the islands off eastern Africa. It inhabits the shallow fast moving waters of the wave impact zone or near shore flats. Reaching up to 25 pounds, the bluefin trevally is considered the pound for pound strongest trevally, and by many anglers familiar with this fish the strongest fish pound for pound in the ocean. These fish can be found in small groups of 2-5, with the larger fish becoming increasingly solitary. An important sportfish, anglers will release these fish in many locations. Many anglers pursue this species and giant trevally.
