This is one of my husbands favorites to fish for.
False albacore vary in color from steel blue to a bluish/green on their upper sides, quickly becoming pale silver/white on their sides and underbelly. They are easily distinguished by also having wavy markings on their back above the lateral line and by having three to five very distinct black dots going from their pectoral fin to the mid-section of their body. A member of the tuna family, it is a heavy-bodied fish, shaped like a torpedo, with a slender and deeply forked tailfin. The teeth are small and conical. Like the other tunas, false albacore have no swimbladder and therefore must remain moving from the moment they're born or they will die.
