They are horrible. Please let me know when you have a bunch of them and I'll throw them away for you.

Re: yellow jack?
hahahahaha...I think this might mean that you should read a little between the lines here. Sorry PhishingPhanatic, I gotta tell the guy...it's the Crevalle Jack's that are not keeper's (though there are a contingency of people out there who eat them, and Blue Runners, and Ribbon Fish, and Mullets, and...on and on). The Yellow Jack's are supposed to be really really good. I have never had them but I have seen on this thread some people rave about them and how good they are. How they differ from the icky yucky bigger Jack Crevalle I don't know...PhishingPhanatic wrote:They are horrible. Please let me know when you have a bunch of them and I'll throw them away for you.

Re: yellow jack?
Yes, yellow jacks are excellent. Firm, mild white meat, not strong tasting at all. Make awesome sushi.

There is a fine line between Love & Hate.Hate is pushing them off a ledge. Loving them means you don't taunt them after you've pushed them off.

Lol yea, can't read these forums if you dont read sarcasm. That sucks that their good cause I caught some but used them for bait cause I didn't know if they were worth it, the meat seemed ok but since I don't keep much of the fish I catch I wasn't sure . Defenitly gonna try it on the bbq next time I catch one of those bad boys or is it better just to filet those

I fillet them, but I fillet 99% of the fish that I keep.
