They're ok to catch, but not real fighters, especially around Chesapeake
Bay, where most of the fishermen I see use heavy tackle. If you are in
it to catch fighters, you want bluefish or crevalle jacks. A blue or
jack one fourth the size of a rockfish will put up a tremendous fight.

Ran into a mess of amber jacks once on a charter in the gulf.
They were tough for their size, and tired us out.
Don't think we ate them, as we got some grouper too.
