Hello folks can any one verify it's a Spotted Drum or Jackknife, thx in advance.

Looks like a jackknife to me. Spotted drum dorsal has more curve to it.

I thought the same thing, but the fish store insists it's a spotted drum, so I'm confused, I really want to get a spotted drum.

they look so similar I don't really blame them. I know there are a few fish collectors in the keys- it may be better to get a spotted drum direct from the diver since they have more direct experience with the fish so should be able to better ID

Thx for your reply, I can’t get the fish direct from the diver, cos I’m from China
