Blue Marlin
The largest billfish trophy. It is not uncommon to
see this huge fish (up to 1800lbs.) heave itself skyward in a seemingly
inexhaustible display of strength. |
 |
Sailfish
This beautiful billfish has the largest dorsal
fin, resembling a sail. This fish is noted for its fighting ability and
often spends as much of the battle in the air as in the water. |
 |
Wahoo
(Ono)
Wahoo is a gamefish known for its long hard runs
at speeds up to 45 mph. Because of the limited number of wahoo caught, it is
considered a trophy fish. |
 |
Barracuda
The Barracuda, nicknamed the "Tiger of the Sea,"
is an inquisitive, aggressive predator. It is found offshore and inshore
wherever smaller fish are to be found. Inshore it provides the angler with
an aerial display, often jumping out of the water two to three times its own
length. |
 |
Amberjack
What the Amberjack may lack in long runs and
jumping is easily overlooked by its super strength. The pull of this fish is
a sheer delight to the angler and this fish makes a beautiful trophy. The
gold and purple vary from locale to locale. |
 |
Dolphin
(Mahi Mahi) (Dorado)
Found in warm waters worldwide, the Dolphin is
among the most colorful of the gamefish. Its hard fighting and gold-green
and blue colors makes this fish most popular. The male has a very
distinctive blunt head. |
 |
Yellowfin
Tuna (Ahi)
This member of the tuna family, although not the
largest, is among the world's hardest running fish. It attains weights in
excess of 200 lbs. A long battle can be expected from this freight train. |
 |
Hammerhead
Shark
This shark is probably the most easily identified
by the hammer-like head. The hammerhead has two species with slight
variations in fins and head shape. Hammerheads provide an extremely hard
fighting battle, and when finally brought to the boat will make several more
runs taking the line you worked hard to get. |
