King Mac vs "Kingfish"...what is the difference?

When I was a kid we caught "kingfish" in the bay while fishing for weakfish. These were small fish about 12-18" that had a couple short catfish like wiskers on the lower jaw.

In Florida they have the big ASA kingfish contests. I saw them haul up some huge wahoo like fish that look like giant king macs to me.

This past season we had a number of nice (what I would call) a king mackeral (looks a little like a spanish but with less yellow and a little thinner profile)

So, is the "kingfish" they catch in florida really a king mackerel we catch up here?
