Lethal,
I notice it's eyes and dorsal are on the bottom ? it must be a hybrid 
Makaira Hemiramphidae perhaps

Wooohooo, my oldmans 16ft tinnie must have the NZ record for most billfish in a day- 25
...
Lethal and Canadian John,
I think this capture should be reported to the IGFA immediately. The only piper I've seen this big was a scotsman! LOL. But seriously, I'd question the legality of such a catch as the rod and reel as well as flying gaff are n't shown in the picture. Good effort Lethal. The fishing seems to be average so I'm all for stretching the truth as far as possible.
Cheers

Howdy all, Dam it all Lethal how ya gonna get a bottle big enough to roll that one out to remove the bones?.
My Pc has been pissed and broke for about two weeks, but it was only a back door virus they tell me, nothing $500 wouldnt fix, It seems to me that I was the one that got shafted via the back door, heh heh.
Thats no good Dreema but why do you have to keep changing your name mate??????? are you running Windows XP because if you are you only need to go back a day in your settings and the Virus has gone.......
Hi tonto a six hook rig would not go down to happy with the IGFA im sure, but im not complaining it was great fight while it lasted.......
Hi Lethal,
Did you use that fantastic "billfish" for bait on your trip???
I am told they can be great baits for snapps & kingfish.
cheers Woody
, and i was sort of saving the bigger ones for a freind just to blow him away with there size......
