Greater Amberjack, also known as Kanpachi, is a powerful catch here in Orange Beach. These fish can grow up to 6 feet long and weigh as much as 200 lbs! However, they are more commonly found around 40 lbs. Known for its sweet, mild flavor and buttery texture, Greater Amberjack boasts pale pink flesh with a fine texture. It is often compared to Mahi-Mahi but with a more pronounced taste. To reel in one of these giants, we recommend a 6+ hour trip, with most successful catches occurring during 10-12 hour deep-water trips.
