Word origin

The term 'skipjack' originates from the early 19th century, likely derived from the combination of the words 'skip' and 'jack'. The 'skip' part refers to the fish's lively swimming behavior, while 'jack' is a common name in English for various fish species. The specific species known as skipjack tuna was classified within the Scombridae family due to its characteristics similar to other tunas and mackerels. Skipjack has long been a part of the fishing culture in various coastal communities around the world, particularly in regions where tuna fishing is prevalent.
