Sailfish Nursery

    Marine biologist Rick Rosenthal witnesses something no one has seen before: an adult sailfish ­ believed to possess poor eyesight ­ feeding at night. Then, drawn by the glow of Rick’s flashlight, a baby sailfish emerges from the darkness.

Who knew baby sailfish were so small?

Sailfish Circling Sardines


Sailfish are two species of fishes in the genus Istiophorus, living in warmer sections of all the oceans of the world. They are blue to gray in color and have a characteristic erectile dorsal fin known as a sail, which often stretches the entire length of the back. Another notable characteristic is the elongated bill, resembling that of the swordfish and other marlins.

The Fastest Fish in the World

If you are a freshwater fisherman, you are probably familiar with bass, muskie and trout and their quick bursts of speed and power. However, none of these fish are anywhere close to the fastest fish in the world. The real king of speed, found in saltwater, is the sailfish. Its speed has been measured in excess of 110 km/h (68 mph) over short periods. The marlin and tuna, often considered among the greatest sport fish are miles behind, reaching top speeds of 80 and 74 kph respectively. The fastest fish I have ever caught is the tarpon, which reaches a top speed of 56 kph. You can see a list of the top 10 fastest fish on The Travel Almanac.

Re: Stormy Kromer Hat Contest!

I'm not much for a pithy comment, but I thought I'd leave a note about how honored I be to wear Kromer on my upcoming annual pheasant hunting trip to South Dakota. I'm sure that my hunting buddies will joke about how silly I look while they wear their stylized broad brim hunting caps, but I'll be laughing on the inside as my head stays nice and warm. I'll be laughing al the more when the stiff South Dakota wind picks up and Kromer is staying put. Finally, with the fall bite on, I know my new Kromer will call the [...]
