This fish certainly tells you something. The trevally is THE emblematic fish of exotic fishing. It hurts both fishing enthusiasts and their equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, most people generalize this word thinking that it is only one species. In fact, several species of trevally exist across the globe. Here are the main ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Big-headed<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is present in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Recognizable by its size and huge head, it can reach a maximum weight of around 90 kilos. If you want to tackle this fish, I recommend that you be very well equipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
