Greater amberjack identification illustration — side view for checking Texas size limits
Greater amberjack, drawn to show the marks that identify it. It is an illustration, not a photo — where identification decides a fine, TPWD is the authority.

38 inches, one a day — a taller minimum than the fork-length 34-inch rule other Gulf states use, though Texas measures total length throughout rather than fork length.
