Bluefin Trevally

Fishing for Bluefin Trevally

Bluefin Trevally are a member of the Carangidae (jack) family and are loved by fishermen for their beauty and fighting ability. Like all trevally species the bluefin is somewhat over shadowed by its bigger cousin the Giant trevally. Like all trevally species they fight well, with long powerful runs that will test your endurance and tackle.
