They are mainly caught using [[Seine fishing|haul seines]], [[Gillnetting|gill nets]], and line gear. They are common taken as [[bycatch]] in [[Drift netting|driftnet]] catches of [[tuna]] along the edge of the [[continental shelf]].<ref name = FM/> It is a [[Game fish|popular target]] for recreational anglers and its flesh is highly palatable and is considered superior to some other game fishes.<ref name = tpwd>{{cite web |url=https://tpwd.texas.gov/fishboat/fish/didyouknow/coastal/tripletail.phtml |title=Tripletail, A Weirdly Wonderful Fish |author=Bill Balboa |access-date=26 October 2023 |publisher=Texas Parks & Wildlife Department}}</ref>
