Sure, and then the fine dining begins!!

No finer dining. 3 or 4 years ago I took one home that had its tail bit off when we were in the middle of a brief bluefish blitz off an open beach. Had forgotten just how good they taste ! Don't think they made it to my backbay area yet as I have had very little in the way of bait stealers and bite offs from blowfish or small snappers as yet (knock wood). However, I did hear rumors of peanuts and tiny snappers and have seen tiny white somethings jump out of the water when I reel in my buck and teaser. In 2 weeks I suspect I might start looking for snappers to liveline although the Gulp has been good so far. What are you using for bait for the kingfish ?

Small skinny squid strips on a small hook like a porgy hook always worked for me..

cutting a 6" pork rind in half and putting it on a 3/0 bucktail dressed teaser hook caught a few of them for me last summer.

We catch them once in awhile in the sound. Never ate one though.

Delicious like sea bass or flounder but imho better

I won a pool on a drift boat out of Boyton Beach with a King Fish.

Did not know at the time but that is a highly respected fish in those waters.

Different King Jack, you caught a King Mackerel which get quite large

Cellie's talking about a Northern Kingfish, a couple of lbs is a HUGE one.
