Problem with calling it a dolphin fish is the dorsal fin. Dolphin have a very long, body length dorsal fin.

I'm leaning toward a Crevalle Jack.

i think you're right - didn't notice the dorsal fin.... good fish-spotting on your part
 
Those keeled scales along the tail are an important clue that it is a member of the Jack family or a close relative. Beyond that, a much better picture is indeed needed for more than speculation.
 
The long pectoral fins also indicate Jack. I don't see how you can differentiate from black jack to cravalle, to horse eye, to big eye from that picture, but it is a jack
