Yes I am writing my blog about a species of fish but honestly who is surprised. I have done a similar post about the large mouth bass and how it is a very underrated fish but this is a different type of post. This fish is a saltwater fish that has a special place in my heart because not only are they a fish that fights really hard and gives a sense of gratification to the angler but you are also allowed to harvest 15 a day!
I am a huge fisherman and a huge fish eater and no fish compares to the taste of Spanish Mackerel. I know everyone out there who fishes is going to think that I am crazy because the hogfish is considered to be the best tasting fish but to those people I say stop being a follower. The Spanish mackerel has a smooth taste and so much flavor that you would think the fish is still swimming.
Now lets get to the fishing part. The Spanish mackerel will fight so hard that you will think you hooked a shark. The best part about it is that even though they fight hard they are not very difficult to catch and an experienced angler can get the fish in the boat almost every time with the correct tackle. So instead of everyone sitting on their butts I say why not go get some Mackerel!

When I used to fish when I was younger, I remember Spanish mackerel putting up the best fights ever. And they tasted amazing too. If you use a topwater spoon or jig, I've seen them hit the bait so hard that they jump out of the water. Crazy stuff.
