Re: Incredible Canyon YFT/Bigeye Jigging and Popping!
As Sportfish said, the striated liver is one way to tell, but that only helps after you have reached for the butcher knife. The pectoral fin does not reach the 2nd dorsal fin on Bluefin, it does on Big Eyes. On Bluefin the 2nd dorsal and anal fins are tipped with pale blue, on Big Eyes they are tipped in yellow. Not to be a wet blanket but I have a problem with the first photo of Sea Bear's 2nd post, can be the camera angel, but those look like Bluefin.
