The following is a list of the off shore fish that we might catch on aboard the
"Intimidator" on a typical over night fishing trip. |

The dolphin is one of the world's premiere offshore sport fish, found worldwide
in tropical waters. When hooked, these colorful fish will leap many times before
settling down to slug it out, turning their flat-sided bodies against you.

Of all the world's marine game fish, none is more celebrated or generates more excitement
than the blue marlin. The fish of Hemingway's Old Man and The Sea fights with a
strength that is only exceeded by that of the giant tuna, and often makes spectacular
leaps when first hooked.

The White Marlin is the little brother to the bigger Blue Marlin but it will crash
trolled baits, and when hooked, often leaps successively by "gray-hounding."
Due to this penchant for wasting energy by leaping, a characteristic of all billfish,
the white marlin seldom initiates a bulldogging battle.

Sailfish are memorable opponents. With a flair for the dramatic, they'll make a
sizzling run and then jump their heart out. Many anglers revere the sailfish as
the greatest light tackle quarry. These spectacular fish are found worldwide in
tropical and subtropical waters. Atlantic sailfish grow larger in the eastern Atlantic
than they do along the Americas, where they average around 30 pounds. Pacific sailfish
can top 200 pounds, but average closer to 100.

The Yellow fin is perhaps the most colorful of all the tuna. Found globally in tropical
and subtropical seas, it's one of the world's most popular fish. Even small Yellow
fin tax light tackle to the limits, and the brute strength of larger fish requires
heavy stand-up gear.

Wahoo are found in the Gulf of Mexico waters and are considered to be one of the
fastest and best tasting of all the game fish. These long, torpedo-shaped fish can
grow to weights exceeding 100 pounds and can rip off line at speeds exceeding 60
miles per hour, sometimes taking to the air in the process. We fish for Wahoo even
on a day trip and really enjoy catching them as does anyone hence the name WAHOO!"
