Spanish vs Greenback question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I think certain sea creatures like certain things. I once saw a 1.5 lb dead smelt get turned down by a seal. He was happy to take my daughters offering of a dead green back. In my opinion I think the Pacific green back has a higher oil content and is prefered by fish including themselves.

On Spanish macs, I was out on a two day fishing trip, out of thirty on board only 13 albacore were caught. The night fishing was a blast though. Light bass rod fishing with jigs and we were catching 4 pound spanish macks! Fun and made great shark bait. I brought some home and it makes the bomb Ceviche and decent fish tacos.
