We were bailing dolphin on a weed line that had a 55 gallon drum in it. There were at least a hundred of them under the drum mixed in with Mahi and Triggers.

Definite Almaco Jack
The diagonal dark stripe through the eye is an Almaco jack. (True) Bar Jacks have a blue "bar" (more like a stripe) horizontally above the lateral line.
Almaco jacks (also known as Bonita in Bermuda) are great eating. More info here: http://marinebio.org/species.asp?id=442
Cool pic! Never seen a baby like that.

Thanks! First time I have ever caught one. Must have been in the nursery because there were lots of them.
