Sailfish


The streamlined Sailfish is famed for its spectacular high-speed runs. Pods of these fish have been observed using their fins as a wall to keep schools of bait fish confined. When not in use, the fin folds flat into a groove down the back of the fish’s body.

The record catch weighing 100 lbs. was taken by John P. Grooms, Jr. at Ocean Isle in 1987.
