What is this fish

McDonald's straws (red and yellow stripe) I cut them in half and then slice one end up into a skirt...sliding sinker and a treble hook...I caught a 12 pound King Mackerel off the jetties in Destin/Ft Walton one time with a McDonald's straw jig. I had run out of squid and shrimp and was walking back to my car figuring I was done fishing for the day and spotted a lid with straw washing up into the rocks...

AHhhhhhhhhh St George Island......we go for a week in May every year. Get off the pier and surf fish. Get bait out past 2nd sand bar. Ive had my reel stripped of it line in 15 seconds out there, very cool!
