I need help with ID of this little guy. Could it be a very young Bar Jack? Looking to the experts for help. Carlos

Caranx crysos

Great photo! Possibly impossible to tell with a jack this young, but if I had to guess I'd say Blue Runner, Caranx crysos. The yellow fins especially look like crysos.

Thanks Louis! The juvi Jacks

Thanks Louis!

The juvi Jacks and Grunts always give me trouble. This particular guy was alone but I am seeing Jellyfish with 10-20 riders of diiferent species.
