Well, it was a fleeting glance (two actually) from a distance. I believe that
the sun was partially obscured by clouds at that point and in front of me and
the fish anyhow. It definitely did not 'appear' silvery like a tarpon, but
this could have been the conditions. It was more light than dark I
believe...kind of a dirty white, but again, this was at a distance and not
under ideal viewing conditions. For a someone well experienced in these
waters, or an icthyologist, its behavior is probably more of a clue. Nearshore
in low vis water, in excess of 5 ft, when it jumped it was a low angle jump and
without any twisting or contortions or anything like that.
