I guess it's a Needlefish? Really sleek and swift through the water...

Did you release it or filet it?
The meat is blue

Really, that's wild! We just released him, not sure if it was good eating...

That particular specimen is a bit too small to yield much food. The flesh really does have a blue/green tint. But it cooks up white. True giant needlefish are rather good eating...just like Ray Cannon says in his classic book, The Sea of Cortez. They can be wormy though!
