Bonies are greenish with broken black vertical stripes. Skippies are black n silver with black stripes down their belly. Skipies are more pelagic than bonito and catching them that close to shore is extreemly rare. Releasing it was a good call if you had a yt on board. I thought skippies were poor eating but I have had them raw and bbq-d and they were good. When you buy canned tuna and the label just says "tuna" its almost always a variety of skip jack. Mike
