Although I've never seen a juvi bluefin, I'm pretty sure the bonito has bigger teeth. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device zacs 09-29-2011, 09:28 AM there is no doubt that it is a bonito. blue oyster 09-29-2011, 09:41 AM thanks prbuzz and raven for the help , it was driving me crazy not knowing what the fish was and not being able to post a picture . i can only hope it's big brothers and sisters show up some day ,for a small fish it had game , i can only imagine what the fight woud be on a bigger fish . i could see the maddness now in the habah everyone running and gunning for bones and albies along with the usual insanity that goes on :biglaugh: MakoMike 09-29-2011, 01:53 PM Bonito, like I said yesterday! :) Swimmer 09-29-2011, 02:25 PM Where didi you catch it? Shore or boat? blue oyster 09-29-2011, 03:08 PM Where didi you catch it? Shore or boat? boat they were mixed in with macks on a local ledge Saltheart 09-29-2011, 03:45 PM That juvi blue fin is a beautiful looking fish! johnny ducketts 09-29-2011, 08:27 PM I think it's a bonito. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device bucko 09-30-2011, 07:46 AM If the fish was caught in the Boston Harbor area that's quite a catch. I don't think I've heard of Bonito that far North. johnny ducketts 09-30-2011, 10:55 AM it's been a very weird year. 48 lb red drum in rhode island, other weird stuff, any thing is possible rayndogg 09-30-2011, 08:02 PM its a mackeral maybe spanish. WoodyCT 09-30-2011, 08:39 PM Sarda sarda No doubt about it. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device Fisherwoman 10-01-2011, 03:28 PM Actually it is a what they call a frigate mackerel, known in the NE. I caught one a few years back and thought it was a baby bonita as well and got one the other day outside the harbor. I took a picture of one a few years back talked to the marine fisheries as I thought just like everybody else it was a bonita and he said even though they look very similar it is a frigate mackerel!!! leptar 10-01-2011, 05:30 PM It's an Atlantic Bonito, Northern Bonito, Katonotel, Boston Mackerel... the Dorsal fin is the give away between the 2... The dorsal on the frigate mackerel is not as long but taller. They usually show up (Frigates) about this time of year along with the skip jacks(not snappers)..... blue oyster 10-01-2011, 05:40 PM Actually it is a what they call a frigate mackerel, known in the NE.
