DONK flying fish

fishxtreme · 08-15-2009, 05:59 PM

Among many other critters showing up in the spreader lights, flying fish were the most predominant. Here's a pic of a big one...16" wing spread, 14 1/2" total body length

Wire his wings open and hang em from a kite!

DL, you called the big flyer a Bahama...can someone name this smaller species? They had brown backs instead of blue. Some with chin whiskers, some without. Also saw 2 other species that I wasn't able to get pics of, one bright gold body and wings with longer tail(snakey), and one real small cream colored species.

That's a "Disco Flying Fish". Luis got hold of it and did a "dye job" on it. I have never seen one like that. Harry

pretty cool fish pics guys. the first one was a good sized one.

timnmatty · 08-27-2009, 09:34 PM

I wonder if they are juvenile lionfish!

This one looks a little different than most of the blue back ones I was able to catch. It has pink fins and a pink spot on the gill plate.
According to Wikipedia there are 64 different species of flying fish worldwide, and 22 different species in the Atlantic and Pacific. Most all are found in warm waters above 64 degrees F. After noticing the fin in the second dorsal position I think this is a sailfin flyer
