Taburan tenggiri diseluruh dunia. Rantau Asia Tenggara yang kaya dengan spesis "King mackerel" ini.
Giginya yang tajam dan tersusun mampu memutuskan perambut mono 60lb sekalipun. Oleh itu penggunaan perambut steel 20lb-25lb adalah terbaik bagi memburu spesis ini.
Lazimnya spesis ikan ini lebih gemar berenang berkumpulan dan mencari bodong-bodong ikan pemangsa untuk mudah memburu. Ikan kembong, selar, lolong dan selayang lazimnya menjadi hidangan utama tenggiri.
Spesies ikan berparuh ini mempunyai kekuatan luar biasa, termasuk mampu mempamerkan kebolehan menyelam dan bergerak laju, melompat di permukaan air serta berdiri dan meluncur secara tiba-tiba. Golongan pemancing menyifatkan layaran sebagai spesies ‘game fish’ yang ganas, mencabar, kuat bertarung serta diletakkan dalam kumpulan pelagik. Fizikal layaran yang berbentuk panjang dengan satu paruh runcing dan tajam di bahagian depan. Struktur isinya berdaging mampat dan pejal atau kenyal. Isinya tidak mempunyai nilai pasaran yang tinggi tetapi ikan ini terkenal kerana tentangan hebat yang diberikan ketika memakan umpan pada joran.
Sebaris sirip lebar yang di bahagian atas badannya seperti kain layar yang memungkinkan ikan ini dipanggil layaran. Ia mempunyai insang dan rahang di bahagian bawah yang pendek berbanding rahang di atas yang dijadikan senjata apabila menghadapi lawan. Layaran memiliki mata pada kedua-dua belah bahagian kepalanya. Memiliki sepasang sirip dorsal dengan sirip pertamanya tinggi dan lebar berbentuk seperti layar. Sirip keduanya agak kecil dan pendek pada bahagian ekor. Pemancing berpengalaman dapat mengesan pertukaran warna ikan layaran sebaik didaratkan. Perubahan ini mungkin berpunca daripada cahaya matahari yang menyinarinya sebaik dinaikkan dari laut. Warna layaran biru gelap bercampur keputih-putihan. Layaran mudah tergoda dengan sumber makanan seperti anak tuna, krustasia, cephalopods dan ikan terbang yang boleh didapati dengan banyak hampir di semua perairan.
Malah kumpulan bilis, selar, kembung, lolong, selar kuning, kerisi, tamban dan selar kunyit yang dijadikan umpan oleh pemancing. Layaran memburu mangsanya dengan bantuan pedang tajam di bahagian hadapan kepalanya. Kehebatan layaran menarik peminatnya yang tersendiri, dengan mengawetkan ia sebagai bahan seni yang sangat menarik. Dipamerkan di dinding atau pepenjuru rumah.

Sumber dari http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunnus_albacaresThe second dorsal fin and the anal fin are both bright yellow, thus the common name, and can be very long in mature specimens, as are the pectoral fins. The main body is very dark metallic blue, changing to silver on the belly, which has about 20 vertical lines.
Yellowfins tend to school with fishes of the same size, including other species of tuna, and larger fish. They are often seen with dolphins, porpoises, whales and whale sharks. Yellowfins eat other fish, crustaceans, and squid.

Diatas diterangkan secara scientific berkenaan jenis ikan ni. Tetapi aku cuba buat sedikit penerangan berhubung keadaan dan situasi semasa aktiviti pancingan Ruby ini dibuat. Lokasi pancingan terletak lebih kurang 10 jam perjalanan dari Bandar Ranong. Dilihat didalam sonar, permukaan laut di kenalpasti berbukit dan berjurang dengan kedalaman diantara 100m dan tiba-tiba ke kedalaman 300m.

Tandaan berwarna merah ni menunjukkan taburan ikan cupak, dan dilihat ia hidup subur di sekitar perairan malaysia, indonesia dan Australia. Ini menunjukan bahawa ikan cupak ni dapat membiakan dengan baik dengan keadaan dan iklim tertentu sahaja.
Lazimnnya ikan ni bergerak secara berkumpulan, oleh itu sekiranya kita mula memperolehi ikan ni, jaga-jaga berkemungkinan banyak lg kawanannya disekitar kita memancing. Di lihat ikan ni juga kurang sensitif terhadap pemancing tetapi sekiranya terlalu banyak terlepas atau terlucut semasa memancingnya berkemungkinan bodongnya akan lari bersama.
Giant trevally (lowly trevally) or nama sceintificnya Caranx ignobilisDiantara aspek-aspek yang dikenalpasti untuk diperbaiki adalah :
1. Kaedah memancing yang akan digunakan adalah drifting , floating, popping dan jigging. Dirasakan kaedah ini mendapat sambutan dari spesis target ni. ini kerana spesis ini merupakan spesis pemangsa dan mudah terjerat dengan aktiviti-aktiviti yang menarik perhatiannya seperti bunyi pop popper atau renangan menarik jig-jig dihadapanya.
2. Kaedah Ikatan-ikatan pengukuhan yang akan diperbaiki.Albright, Bimini,Blood Knot dan ikatan pengukuhan lain.Ikatan-ikatan ini penting dan sebaiknya kita memahirkan diri didalam persediaanya. Ini kerana jangkamasa ikan frenzy membaham umpan kadangkalanya tidak berpanjangan. Jadi adalah rugi sekiranya kita terkial-kial menyiapkan leader pada ketika itu.

3. Jenis-jenis Popper, jigging termasuk saiz, warna, berat yang sesuia. Jenis dan warna juga amat penting didalam pemilihan jig dan popper ini. perkara ini aku akan rujuk kepada kenalan yang pernah menaikkan GT dilokasi yang dituju.


Pelbagai warna dan saiz Jig dan Popper
4. Akhir sekali set pancingan yang sesuai dan kelengkapan yang berkaitan. Alat pancingan yang sedia ada akan digunakan untuk melaksanakan misi ni.
a. Hooks- Sebaik-baiknya biarlah mata pancing yang berkualiti agar kejadian mata terkangkang dan patah dapat dielakkan.
b. Kevlar- Jalinan dan ikatan mata pancing terus ke bearing swivel atau swivel. Tujuan kevlar ni selain kekuatannya yang telah terbukti adalah mewujudkan pergerakan mata pancing yang lembut mengikut pergerakan jig penting agar ikan tidak culas untuk membaham jig yang sedang dikarau laju.
c.Main Line- Terdapat pelbagai jenis dan brand braided line yang berada dipasaran. adalah baik menggunakan braided berbanding mono yang mempunyai banyak rintangan air apabila aktiviti jigging atau popping dilaksanakan.
d. Reel yang sedia ada akan dipetaruhkan untuk menduga spesis ni. Stella 20000FA untuk pancingan kaedah Popping dan Twin Power 8000HG untuk teknik Jigging
e. Rod - Shimano Type J PE 1-3 Untuk Jigging dan Shimano Caranx KAIBUTSU PE 6-8 long cast popping rod untuk teknik jigging

Amberjack is the name of 3 species of Atlantic fish of the Carangidae family, which includes the jacks and the pompanos.
Greater amberjacks, Seriola dumerili, are the largest of the jacks. They usually have dark stripes extending from nose to in front of their dorsal fins. They have no scutes and soft dorsal bases less than twice the length of the anal fin bases. They are usually 18 kg (40 pounds) or less, and are found associated with rocky reefs, debris, and wrecks, typically in 20 to 75 m (10 to 40 fathoms).
Lesser amberjacks, Seriola fasciata, have a proportionately larger eye and deeper body than the greater amberjack. They are olive green or brownish-black with silver sides and usually have a dark band extending upward from their eyes. Juveniles have split or wavy bars on their sides. The adults are usually under 5 kg (10 lbs). They are found deeper than other jacks, commonly 50 to 130 m (30 to 70 fathoms).
Amberjacks are voracious predators, which feed on squid, fish, and crustaceans, and are thought to spawn offshore throughout most of the year.
Juveniles can be caught in about 25 feet (7.6 m) of water, near floating objects.
Banded Rudderfish, Seriola zonata, is the second smallest Amberjack. This Jack can be distinguished from the Pilot fish by the presence of a first dorsal fin. Juveniles are banded vertically like Pilotfish, and follow large objects or animals. Large individuals (over 10 inches) have no bands. This fish, though commonly caught, is rarely identified. Large ones, with a raccoon-sripe on the eye and an iridescent gold stripe on the side, are usually called Amberjacks when caught, and juveniles are called Pilotfish. They are found as far north as Nova Scotia. They are less dependent on sharks, etc., than Pilotfish. They can be caught on Shrimp, Silversides, lures (eg Spoons) and flies.
Other species exist in other parts of the world, such as: Yellowtail amberjack (including the Asian yellowtail, the California yellowtail, and Yellowtail kingfish or Southern yellowtail), Flat amberjack, and Japanese amberjack (5-Ray Yellowtail).

Current world-record dog tooth tuna for men—91kilograms (200.4 pounds) by Cameron Kirkconnell February 4, 2006 at East Nusa, Tengara, Indonesia
Description of the hunt by Cameron Kirkconnell
With the two fish in the boat and our time expired we decided to head back to the mainland 2 hours away. Something in me felt wrong though and I persuaded the boat driver to stay another hour ($15 more) so that we could dive in the ever increasing current for one last shot.
With a rain squall coming hard on us and the visibility darkening we decided on one last drift. Fighting his way out of a whirlpool a while later Craig breaks a blade on his fin before we can catch him with the boat. Handing me his tuna gun he smiles and says, "This is it, this is the one, make it count, I'll ride shotgun and bring the second gun so you can shoot your fish twice..."
5 minutes later i was relaxed and diving down through the warm surface layer to the cooler water below relishing the change in temperature that these type of Tuna love so much. At 50 feet i stopped kicking and glided down to find a school of dogtooth tuna surrounding me from 15 to 120 lbs. Patiently i glided deeper and caught sight of the black back of a slightly bigger one on the bottom at 90 feet. Passing the other smaller tuna the big fish turned slightly just as i reached the end of my float line and i squeezed the trigger.
Thunk!
The fish immediately shook his gills and then made two circles on the bottom banging the shaft against the coral in an attempt to break free of the object now lodged in his after half.
As the great fish strained for deep water i pushed hard for sunlight and grabbed my passing floats on the surface just in time to tell Craig, " I shot a TOAD!!!!"
Without pulling the first float under the fish headed for deep water. With my hands on the bungey I worked my way towards the fish and after only 45 seconds felt him stop kicking. Slowly but firmly I worked him towards me and again he powered down only to stop again. Nervous the fish would pull out i fought him as gingerly as possible trying to drown him by pulling him backwards every time he stopped. Within a few minutes the fish was in sight and I could see he was hurt bad but there was no way i was going to lose this fish. Grabbing my 115 Omer America with a reel from Craig, I quickly reloaded, dove and approached him. At 12 feet my lungs were screaming for air at the exertion of the last few minutes and I prayed that my shaking hands would aim true.. whoosh! The fish went stiff and i surfaced pulling the ever growing fish to me.
Oh my god. Oh my god.
I can't wrap my arms around him! I have never screamed so loud in my life. The rocky cliffs a mile distant reverberated with the sound of my voice and then mingled with that of Craigs and the boat driver.
With a raging 10 kt current approaching I handed the tail of the fish to the boat driver and jumped in the boat to relieve him but even with Craig and I pulling we could not budge the fish from the water. Trailing the fish to calm waters the three of us pulled the beast into the boat and then there was complete silence.
Looking at the 6 ft long fish at my feet my mind shut down and I was flooded with emotion at what I had before me. Never in my life could i have imagined this possible. Craig and I stared in utter silent disbelief.
Dogtooth Tuna. What I have always preached as the most challenging and difficult fish in the world to land. Diving 30 miles from civilization in 6-10 kts of current. The whitewater rafting we had done the week before doesn't even compare to the whirlpools and down currents and 5 ft standing waves we encounter every drift here. All the nights worrying about Malaria and days spent unsuccessfully trying to convince local fisherman to take us to the ends of the earth were forgotten. Before us lay the fruits of all our efforts and the answer to all our dreams.
200.4 lbs. 6 feet long and 4.5 feet in girth.
I am the luckiest man alive.

The dogtooth tuna is a large fast-swimming fish in the family Scombridae. It is one of the apex non pelagic predators (along with Giant Trevally, Napoleon Wrasse, and Large Groupers) of its range (from the Marshall islands to the Indian Ocean). It is not a true tuna, but is closely related to the bonitos. It has the large teeth and straight edged first dorsal fin characteristic of all bonito. Appreciated as both a game fish and food fish, a large specimen can give a good struggle. Anglers travel the world in search of Giant Trevally and dog tooth tuna, spending tens of thousands of dollars in both gear and travel expenses. It is a near shore fish, with smaller fish in shallow reef areas and larger ones in deep reef drop off areas. It will readily attack most fish that will fit in its mouth: mackerels, sardines, etc. Here is a picture of a smaller one [1]
The fish is known in Samoa and some other Pacific nations as tagi.
