Our good friend from Israel sent us his recent encounter with Amberjack.

This one is a 26kgs.

Nice fish!

Had noticed the stripe of light blue coloration on its back...which is not (or seldom) found in amberjacks caught off regional waters...
All the Amberjacks I'd caught so far looks brownish...haha

Hi,
Anyone know why the Amberjack look different ? are they diff spieces?

(photo of amberjack caught in Sabah water can be seen in my trip report in Catch Report section. As I can't attach it here)

Hi
I have heard that there are a few species of Amberjack....
In Taiwan , we caught one BY GUN(In chinese) which is slightly pale in colour......
Where else the rest are Hong Gun which are brownish red in colour....
The Hong Gun fetch more price than the By Gun......

Cheers
Jason

Could if be that those are yellowtail kingfish and not amberjacks?

I was just looking at pics of both species and I think those might be kingfish.
