[quote][b]$$2fish (6/26/2008)[/b][hr]Every undersized King i released over the weekend swam away with just as much fight as they were brought in on. I can't agree with the every one released dies.:nonono[/quote]

mackerels and tunas are fish that constantly have to swim to survive, unlike redfish and trout...

if they come out of the water for more than about 20 seconds, they're toast.... they suficate from no oxygen, and when you throw them back, it may look like they swim off, but they don't get very far...

in either case, it doesn't matter..... flipper or a shark will eat it eventually.

best way to tell, look at the dorsal fin.... if it has a grey dorsal, it's a king.... if the front of the dorsal is pitch black, it's a spanish....

and honestly, the 24" king rule should be lowered to 18",

#1, they are better eating.

#2, as soon as you pull a king or spanish out of the water, no matter how fast you get them in, they will die.

[quote][b]floridafisherman (6/25/2008)[/b][hr]Nice catch, unfortunately at least the two on the right are juvenile kings, I suspect several others are as well. You can tell by the big drop in the laterrel line. I'm pretty sure kings have to be 24 inch's at the fork.[/quote]

I noticed the very same thing.
