(Lacepède, 1800)

Looks and feels right between skipjack and chub mackerel, frigate mackerel is a fast runner that will try to escape from catching. Usually swims on surface by school, frigate mackerel tends to chase hard on moving object and particularly fast moving one. Fast retrieve including rod action works greatly on this specie.
