Armatus ID

[askingan]

Do these look like Armatus to you guys? Can't really make out the shape of the marking behind the gill plate. What do you think?

Thanks.

Is that jaw a little to slanted? I have no clue at this size. Still look like nice healthy fish.

i was thinking the same thing. This sucks I ordered 5 of them and I really don't know if they are or not. I dont want to pay $50 for a scomb. Anyone else...
