Findr bio
A bright golden opportunist that shadows bigger predators for scraps -- flash a jig past me and I will not hesitate, even if I regret it a moment later.

A common jigging and trolling target around Gulf wrecks and current lines, distinguished from the Giant Trevally by its golden-yellow flanks and more forgiving fight.
