From the picture, it looks like a mullet.

I think you're right. There were others, further away, that were
jumping like mullet.

Probably not although that was my wife's first reaction also. I've
caught dogfish sharks. These were much smaller and the fins/gills
weren't right among other things.

Yup, I think you're right. Size-wize, a mullet is about right,
especially if they were jumping and schooling.

Catch one and smoke it. If it tastes like smoked mullet, then you know
you've got it properly named!

Mullet, now all you need is cheese grits and hushpuppies.

I love cheese grits. I just wish they were calorie free. Damn they're
good with fried eggs, yolk runny. Oh man

Heh, usually I'm trying to stay out of it. We were on foot out at
Sanibel yesterday.

My step-father's parents owned two condos on Sanibel. We visited there a few
times when I was a teen. Sadly, they sold them to help fund their
retirement, and that was that. It's a beautiful place. Mosquito capital of
the world as well if I remember correctly. You never read that in the
brochures. :-)
