Those who have handled a sailfish before will know that they have very rough bill and it’s best to wear a pair of glove when you need to ‘bill’ one.
But what about teeth? The answer to weather adult sailfish have teeth is yes, they do have fine, file-like teeth. Not enough to do too much damage.
Fishing allows you to create memories that you’ll have together for the rest of your lives.
I’ve seen the moments created by the above sentence many times, to guests I’ve guided, to myself and the people that I fished with over the years.
Andrew, Michael and Stu are three good friends from Melbourne. About six months before fishing with us in Kuala Rompin, Andrew and Michael surprised Stu with a flight ticket and sailfish fishing package during his 50th birthday bash.
What a nice surprise gift. [Read more…] about Birthday Bash Billfish

A juvenile sailfish at just six months old may weigh 3kg and be 140cm long (6 pounds and be 4.5 feet) and can potentially grow to record sizes weighing upwards of 58kg (128 pounds) in the Atlantic or 100kg (220 pounds) in the Pacific.
Imagine is tiny fish grow to more than 3 meters (10 feet) and weigh more than 100kg (220 pounds).
Female sailfish release more than 4 million eggs. A recently hatched larvae start around 3mm (1/8 of an inch). In the sailfish’s first year, they can grow up to 1.2 to 1.5 meters (4 to 5 feet) long.
Sailfish can live up to 10-13 years.
A juvenile sailfish can be so close in appearance with a white marlin juvenile, scientists have to test them on the molecular level to confirm the identification.
According to a University of Miami study, temperature appears to have an effect on the rate of metabolism in juvenile sailfish.
According to the University of Florida, at 8 inches, all larval characteristics disappear and the juvenile has all the features of an adult.
According to the University of Florida, in the waters of the Pacific Ocean, sailfish appear to spawn in tropical and subtropical regions, with localized peaks during summer months. The males and females swim in pairs, or two to three males pursue a female during spawning.

This was from back in the month of June while fishing with Italian – Mac and American – Shane. This would be the fourth time Shane has booked to fish with us.
Check out the size of this sailfish. Impressive head dimension and the size of the tail, just look at how tall the forked tail is.
Memories
When we fish. we’re catching not just fish, but we also capture memories.
Things that happen, moments. The bonding we make with whoever we’re fishing with at that moment.
Fish we catch, and release.

Spotted these slimy wriggly creatures again at Kuala Rompin. Yes, this is not the first time we’ve seen them. Usually spot them towards the last quarter of the year, floating in-shore by the thousands making the seas patches of light brown, and covered in slime.
They look like baby eels but we really have no idea of what they are exactly. If you do, or have some ideas, please let us know.
