Default Re: Tuna id

All Yellowfin...couple differences between yellow and big eye. Easiest identifier is the yellow has elongated second dorsal and anal fin. Smaller yellows dont have the long fins yet so second identifier is the vertical lines. The yellows pattern is a combo of lines and spots where the bigeye has a solid vertical line patern. Finally there is the liver, the yellow liver is plain in appearance and the bigeye has striations or visible streaks.
Nice catch
