Would be cool to know what it is. Some juvenile fish look quite a bit different than the mature version.
Do you know how to send pics from your phone? You could send it to an email addy, then post here.

There ya go,,been the strangest year EVER in boston harbor.

Makes me think, over the weekend I was loading with macks and a couple in the bunch had different markings.

But everything else was identical to our common mackerel.
I have no idea why it had that pattern. the stripes were broken I would say it was more spotted than striped.
I didnt check for teeth.

They still worked great for striper bait !!!!!
