    WHAT THE HECK IS IT?

    SOME OF YOU HAVE SEEN SOME OF THESE CLIPS.........AND MANY OF YOU HAVE DECALRED WHAT SPECIES YOU MIGHT THINK THIS IS.........

    I WAS DEFINITLY CONFUSED AS TO SPECIES.....I THOUGHT WHITE...THEN BLUE....THEN BRIAN SAID WHITE AS IT JUMPED .....BUT ,....BUT THEN...........TAKE A LONG HARD LOOK AT THE STOP-ACTION STILLS...THE SLO-MO........TAKE A GOOD LOOK BEFORE YOU DECLARE YOUR GUESS

    NOW DON'T THINK YOU ARE THE FIRST GENIUS HERE AND SAY ITS A WHITE BY JUST LOOKING AT THE PECS!!! .....BE SURE YOU LOOK AT THE ANAL FIN...AND THE DORSAL.......AND THE EYE....................

    WITHOUT A DOUBT, IT IS SOME SUB-SPECIES OF SOME BILLFISH........WHAT, WE MAY NEVER KNOW..............HOPE YOU ENJOY!!


    CRANK IT UP...............

    Could it be a Hatchet Marlin?

    The next bite on a jig.
    I vote for run of the mill white, but what do I know. Too dark to be a hatchet

    I know what it is because I've seen that fish before... I won't give it away though.... If I caught it, I wouldn't know until I developed a pic and had it confirmed by an expert.........

    Great Video Marty.... Keep them coming!!!!!!

    I'm not guessing here, but what is the difference in the longbill spearfish and the white marlin. I have not seen a spearfish in person, but isn't it similar to a whitey? I thought the difference was the stripes and a small difference in dorsal fin.

    I am not certain what it is and I am just starting to get to know Mr. Bill.
    I am proud of you for releasing it though.
    Keep those videos coming. I love em.

    Ok so I was beeing a wise guy...I can't see the picture.

    Answer four questions and I will tell you what it is

    How long is the bill?
    What ocean was it captured
    Do the fins all fold down?
    Is it a longbill spearfish?

    My other final answer is coming soon
