I caught this guy Saturday under a bobber with a mud minnow and thought it was a Pompano at the time. I have looked up juvenile Pompano and it does not seem to be. What is it?
Looks like a juvenile jack crevalle to me

That was one of my original thoughts as well but they have a black spot near their gills on almost every picture I’ve seen on the Google

seems like I’ve heard them called hard tails aka blue runners. Good bait.

The yellow makes me say Jack…but head shape …Blue Runner.
I will wait for that Marine Biologist that has dog parties to give a ruling.

Baby blue runners have yellow fins, the colors fade out as they get bigger. Dats a hardtail bo.
Bo don’t fish here:slightly_smiling_face:lol

I defer to the pro but protest that it may possibly be a “yellow jack”…Like I knew that before…not.
