Great show... Thanks for posting!

[@vsonic86]

Very catch!

[@jasonherbst7640]

We got into them around that time too. Awesome fish for us here.

[@gkinnen]

Crazy they found that many!

[@watnongmountainadventures430]

The ones with yellow spots on their sides are spanish mackerel, not kings. Have caught plenty of both in SWFL (and they're both delicious BTW 😁).

[@williamgombos5316]

Some are spanish mackerel no? They have a more gradual lateral line. Juvenile Kings look so close, Spanish mackerel have the spot on the front dorsal too.

I caught a King about 15 years ago, at the time few believed I caught one in cape waters, it tasted fine on the grill.

Sick

[@mrfish49el]

They are much better to eat then bluefish, and the Spanish mackerel are top quality meat.

[@mattgauthier7216]

For those saying that they are spanish, you are wrong. All juvenile kings.

I don’t know about the fish early on the video but the last bigger one was a King Not Spanish. Young Kings can have yellow spots that fish had the lateral line that dipped sharply below the dorsel fin which makes it a King. Also, if quickly bled and iced they are delicious. They a awesome steaked and grilled. Ok frozen but not for long.

Str8 hating

[@jonsvehla8085]

There is no such thing as King Mackerel in Cape Cod.

[@joebaggy768]

You guys have a fishing show yet you don't know the fish or edibility. Wow.

[@OnTheWaterMedia]

We've cooked and eaten king mackerel before but have yet to find a good recipe. Any suggestions @Joe Baggy?

[@joebaggy768]

On The Water Media. Smoke it and make fish dip. Makes great sushi and sashimi. Remove the bloodline under the skin, that stuff is heinous. My favorite: take the loins, roll in black pepper and sesame seeds and sear like tuna. Serve with Ponzu sauce.
