Fish Identification, PLEASE

Aquaholic IV

No guesses please, but after showing some friends this picture, I am getting conflicting identification on this fish. Only experts need to apply! LOL!

I had to google Ron Jeremy, thanks for the compliment but I'm too old and too fat to be him, only in my dreams!

100% almaco. High dorsal fin is your tell.
See below, which is an AJ

He's been old & fat for a while now too.

Almaco was my first take, but I need a better picture to be 100% certain.

It's not an AJ. The body shape is wrong for an AJ.

I think that Almacos are closed in federal waters right now.

Apparently neither. I believe everyone else who says almaco

Almaco easy peasy

Almaco Jack. It's the only member of the family with that body shape and the high dorsal fin.

That's funny! Hopefully that's not on the family computer!

Thanks to all for the I.D., I was initially told Lesser Amberjack. Thanks to Salty Sardine for the humor, you cracked me up. I used my personal I-Pad to google, in this day and age do people still have family computers.......

See you all on the water, go Catchem Up!
