Just bought the house a month ago. I caught my first fish today on Gameday. I think it's an amberjack, correct me if I'm wrong

Welcome to the Forum, Robert. Sure lots like an amberjack, there several different kinds of them and I can't tell which kind it is from the picture and I can't tell you that it is of legal size. Did you keep it? Thank you for sharing.

Only one? Yellowtail jacks travel in schools and will attack any fast moving lure! Jack Crevalle not one of the best eating fish, some folks bleed and cook the oil out. Best shark bait around!

That's a jack crevalle and not an amberjack. Sorry. The canals in south Florida are full of them. Normally where there are jacks, there are also tarpon near by.

Not an Amberjack, a Jack Crevalle, or just "Jack". They got much bigger in PGI's canals too, up to 12/15 lbs.
Also Snook, Mangrove Snapper, Sheepshead, Black Drum (up to 50 lbs.), and Tarpon are common canal residents. Neighbor caught a Triple Tail in one of the canals a few years back, but that is really very rare.
Jacks are tackle busters.
Cheers!🐟
