Nice catch, unfortunately at least the two on the right are juvenile kings, I suspect several others are as well. You can tell by the big drop in the laterrel line. I'm pretty sure kings have to be 24 inch's at the fork.

nice fish, but agreed you might want to remove the pic.

Matt09 · 06-26-2008, 04:43 PM

i measured them any way, all are at least 24 anyway

Matt09 · 06-26-2008, 04:58 PM

maybe the far one was too small but that one looked like a spanish

best way to tell, look at the dorsal fin.... if it has a grey dorsal, it's a king.... if the front of the dorsal is pitch black, it's a spanish....

and honestly, the 24" king rule should be lowered to 18",

#1, they are better eating.

#2, as soon as you pull a king or spanish out of the water, no matter how fast you get them in, they will die.
