Re: Mango/Cuda
No weight just length. We was freediving and chumming them off the bottom in 60' 10 miles of the East Coast.

Re: Mango/Cuda
Whoa, sure that was a Mangrove? Did you check the roof of his mouth? That's a HUGE mangrove if genuine. Congrats! BTW, I do love me some 'Cuda, too. That one is a little too big for my comfort level but they are tasty. 3' and under go in the box after I chop off their stinky heads.

Re: Mango/Cuda
Don't know anything about the roof of its mouth but I went with some pros that seem to know their stuff. East coast dive charter. They say they get them every day.

Re: Mango/Cuda
Good looking out Marcus will use this information next time to make my own assumptions. And your right even pros sometimes make mistakes. Just like the AJ'S I had to do my own research to do a proper ID. After doing my own research I spoke with a field officer for FWC Wildlife Management even he got the identification wrong.

Re: Mango/Cuda
It's a little more than the eye size and color. Size changes everything including gill rakes. Would love/hate to spend 10 mints explains how to tell the difference but I'm sure you like me have Google.

Naw, dude. There's a brown stripe on their head that extends thru the eye to the dorsal fin on Greaters, not such on the Lessers.
