I hope it does turn out to be an Armatus. There is something about the jaw that says its not a scomb. The spot however does suggest it's a scomb.

Still scomb do get as big as >100cm Seen some big ones too.
Most important is you like your fish. I also ever try to find armatus in scomb.
As there are case before armatus found in scomb batch.

Good luck bro.
I really beleive scombs don't get larger the 12" even in the wild. All of the large fishing shots you see are actually Armatus. If you have pics of large scombs I would love to see them. Thanks.

Hydros do taste good..... You can ask my rays.

Could be worse though, I lost one to a Marble. After eating the Armatus the Marble turned around and died on me.
