The jack mackerel, which is not a true mackerel, is quite similar to the Mexican scad, but can be distinguished by the enlarged scales along the side and by the last rays of the dorsal and anal fins being attached to the body.
Younger jack mackerel do not feed extensively on anchovies, do not readily bite on baited hook or lure, and thus are a much less common addition to the catch of a sport angler.
Jack mackerel are most frequently taken as 15+ year-olds by commercial albacore trollers and bottomfish trawlers, generally in northern California waters and further offshore.

 Final tribute for those who served - The Washington Times: Washington Weekend
Black Jack, the Army's riderless horse, pranced restlessly and majestically behind the military carriage bearing the fallen president's casket as it was being taken to Arlington National Cemetery for burial.
Black Jack was named after General John "Black Jack" Pershing, who commanded the American Expeditionary Force in World War I. Ironically, the riderless horse at the Kennedy funeral bore the same name as the nickname of the president's father-in-law, John "Black Jack" Bouvier III.
The riderless horse, also called a caparisoned horse for its trappings — an English saddle, saber and scabbard, bridle, breast plate, ammunition pouch, and spur-fitted riding boots reversed on the saddle — follows behind the caisson if special honors are to be bestowed on the deceased.

 Casebook: Jack the Ripper - Obituaries - Donald Bell
He will probably be best remembered for his article 'Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution?', which was published in the Criminologist, Volume 9, No. 33, Summer black>1974.
The description closely resembled Cream, Bell claimed, ie, a moustache turned up at the ends and dark complexion; 34- or 35-years-old; about 5ft 6in tall; a black tie with a horse-shoe tie pin - and Cream apparently wore such a horse-shoe tie pin.
In corroboration of Bell's theory, a handwriting expert, Derek Davis, stated that he found similarities between Cream's handwriting and two of the Jack the Ripper letters, the Lusk letter and 25 September Dear Boss communication, which Davis deemed to be by the same hand, heavily disguised.
