Great video! I was looking into it because Ive caught several times a bill fish that neither me or my fellow fisherman can’t identify and it is not in this video! Ive caught 3 of them we think it is a type of hybrid between a sailfish and a stripe marlin. All this in the deep sea of Zihuatanejo.
it's great. can you tell me more the differences between striped , black and white marlin. thanks. sometimes you when you see a fish but it doesn't have head, tail, fin... etc something like that. thanks a lot.
Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking of chopping these up into individual videos for each species. Perhaps, when my schedule becomes more available, I can dig into the research and find more characteristics to look for on those differences.
I'll reserve this top pinned comment to add the most relevant updates, corrections and/or important additional information. Cheers!
Great video, finally I feel I can accurately distinguish a black from a blue Marlin and a white from a striped Marlin. Thank you!
Thanks Nate! Glad it helped ya with that.
Nice one man . This will be very useful in the upcoming Australian marlin season
Thanks & good luck this season Emrys!
This is really substantial and excellent. Great job!
Tom, I appreciate the kind words!
Great video. Thank you.
Thanks much Sergio!
one thing you missed is the swordfish has a huge eye. also the black marlins bill also curves.
Good pointers!
Please reply is a Sail fish a type of Marlin? Is sail fish is also a marlin? How many marlins

Ohh...wow. I wonder if you are dealing with some hybrids. You should post those observations on iNaturalist.org .
@ 23:00 Striped Marlin. OLD photo when men were men (even though there are ladies in the photo) and Stripers were HUGE!
Indeed, that is a beastly striper! Thanks for the post @tanglediver.
4 years later but yk it’s worth it
Ha, yeah. I made this one on a whim. Glad it's helping a few people out there!
