posted We caught and really big Marlin about 35 miles off of Cape Lookout on Sunday. Hard to really say how big she was because we released her. I am thinking over 600lb. This fish would win you some money if caught during one of the tournaments.

Are the females, like sharks, bigger than males? Posts: 13019 | Location: Somewhere above Tennessee and below Kentucky | Registered: 31 July 2016 One of Us 
posted Are they worth eating at that size?
I have had what is marketed as swordfish before in many resteraunts and never found that it was as good as the price it had fetched.
Compared to halibut it sucks! Posts: 7782 | Location: Das heimat! | Registered: 10 October 2012 One of Us

posted Beautiful fish!
We hooked into a nice one in Cancun one year at the end of our 8hr fishing trip...Got to see it jump a few times and it was breathtaking. Adding to the excitement was the captain and crew yelling with excitement when they knew it was near our baits and then again when it took and ran

Yes, females are bigger
If you think every possible niche has been filled already, thank a wildcatter! Posts: 2287 | Location: CO | Registered: 14 December 2007 One of Us posted BWW,
Not really. Not even to think about the amount of accumulated mercury

Swordfish and marlin are markedly different. Swordfish has a much whiter meat and milder flavor. Marlin is darker and more fishy. Even smoked, it leaves a lot to be desired. The larger fish( greater than about 350 lbs) are always females.

I love sword fish steaks. However, I have never had halibut.
Thank you for the info on the size. Posts: 13019 | Location: Somewhere above Tennessee and below Kentucky | Registered: 31 July 2016 One of Us posted It is like $15 a pound at our Costco.
To me it is the finest eating ocean fish.
Fresh halibut in Alaska is really remarkable. Posts: 7782 | Location: Das heimat! | Registered: 10 October 2012 One of Us posted Best fish to eat is Grouper or Trigger fish. I eat fish for either lunch or dinner every day this time of year. Eating fresh yellowfin that I caught tonight for dinner. Posts: 1141 | Location: Eastern NC Outer Banks | Registered: 21 March 2013 One of Us posted The best freshwater fish is Walleye!

Trigger fish is really good. Unfortunately on the Gulf coast in our area, the season is only a month, limited to one/day and a 15”size minimum- and it’s out until next year!

Outstanding! Posts: 18594 | Registered: 04 April 2005 one of us posted Capt, great catch and release! As far as eating goes, one of my newer favorites is hogfish. Not very common or available outside of southern Florida or the Keys. Very light and flaky. In my opinion, better than the groupers or snappers commonly available. Don't even think of deep frying it!
