And this kind of fish eats bait in a very fierce way, and will even swallow the bait into the stomach. Often after catching, it is difficult to pick the hook. Even with a hook picker, sometimes it is difficult to take the fish hook! I have caught this fish many times, and I have directly cut the sub-line to change the hook!
Although it is known that this fish has a high nutritional value, it has been stabbed several times by it. I'm really afraid of it stabbing!

The yellowtail is a typical broad-feeding fish, with juveniles feeding mainly on zooplankton and [4] aquatic insect larvae, and adults feed on smaller fish and invertebrates. Yellow jawfish reach sexual maturity at 2 years. From May to July every year, the male swims to the muddy clay soil with dense aquatic grass in the coastal area (water depth of 8-40 cm), and uses the pectoral fin spines to rotate intermittently on the mud bottom, digging a small mud pit, which is the nest for laying eggs. After the male has built the nest, he stays in the nest and waits for the female to arrive, where he lays eggs and fertilizes. Spawning activities are mostly carried out at night when the climate changes from sunny to rainy. The female leaves the nest to feed after laying eggs, and only the male guards the developing eggs and larvae near the nest until the larvae are able to swim freely from the nest (about 7-8 days).
