Name that fish?


I bet you can't name this fish! I was fishing with my cousin Francisco Davis in Loreto last week and he showed me the pics and the fish was in his freezer. I think it looks like a cross between a dolphin, a yellowtail, and a flying fish. Whadda ya think?

Tell your cousin to taste it. Looks like an ugly YT!!
Is he keeping it frozen until he finds out what it is, or what?

Reminded me of the thread about the cyclops shark. I'd be worried if they both came out of the same waters, but it doesn't seem so.

Name that fish?


come on. Bajajurel has asked us to give that fish a name. If it's a female I would suggest Sadie because the lips are the same as that girl at Anthony's in Ensenada :lol:

It's a deformed yellowtail. Either due to a mutation or some occurence in 'babyhood' that deformed the head area and later grew as best as it could.

Although a cross between yellowtail and a toro seems intriguing.....nah ..... couldn't happen.

Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.

I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.

Funny fish


That fish was caught a while ago, and the pictures and descriptions are circulating in the ichthyology community. I'll see if I can find out what they have decided it is.

Man, Bajajurel, you need to keep this stuff a little quieter. That is a rare Kowabunga Queen Fish that was transplanted, along with a lot of his fellow mates from New Zealand. They take these fish, which are native to New Zealand, and grow them in a pen. Because the competition is so great for the food (they are trying to make them great fighters) they often tear the nose off of competing fish when they are actively feeding. I have four of these, as you can see from the pictures, but have been doing my very best to keep this undercover. Imagine that the Mexico department of fisheries gets wind of this and they might close down Yellowtail fishing all together. Or even worse, what might happen if it proves out that these fish are superior fighters and they wipe out the Native Yellowtail Population.
