Actually I guess you're right... you'd have to be a fisherman like my dad to understand all the differences... I do know NOW that there are specific's to the ulua family here in hawaii.... for which I guess the omilu is the most commonly caught. My brother in law actually gaffed an over 100 pounder that was black, as it swam lazily past the the boats in Wailoa River. There still is an argument about whether that was a black ulua or a white ulua, since it was so big, but it was not like yours, which seems longer like the whites, but a very steep blocky body that was really thick and deep.
I guess that the African Models were brought here..... neva mind....
Pompano... kagami ulua.... well I cannot tell the difference and till I just axed someone about got an education on it... don't make me no fisherman yet tho... so... I DO STAND CORRECTED... an African Fish wit a Japanese name.
I was also formally corrected as to its name... it trevally...
Nice fish... I've speared small papio but never anything like your fish.... Beautiful...
