The larger species include the Atlantic blue marlin, which can reach 5.968 metres (19.58 ft) in length and 818 kilograms (1,800 lb) in weight, and the Black marlin can reach in excess of 5 metres (16 ft) in length and 670 kilograms (1,500 lb) in weight.

Sailfish

Sailfish

Sailfish are highly prized game fish and are known for their incredible jumps. Sailfish are blue to grey 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. They are therefore described as billfish in sport fishing circles. The sailfish can also rapidly turn its body light blue with stripes when excited, confusing its prey and making capture easier, while signalling its intentions to fellow sailfish.

Roosterfish

Roosterfish

Rooster fish can reach 4 feet in length and over one hundred pounds. The weight of the average fish hooked is about 20 pounds. The fish is popular as a game fish, but like most fish in the jack family (besides the amberjack and California Yellowtail) it is not considered a good eating fish. The rooster Fish is explosive when hooked and stands out as one of the top game fish for just the shear joy of catching one on light tackle. There are few fishing experiences that match that of fighting a large rooster fish on ultra light gear.

Grouper

Grouper

The word “grouper” comes from the word for the fish, most widely believed to be from the Portuguese name, garoupa. Their mouth and gills form a powerful sucking system that sucks their prey in from a distance. They also use their mouth to dig into sand to form their shelters under big rocks, jetting it out through their gills. Their gill muscles are so powerful that it is nearly impossible to pull them out of their cave if they feel attacked and extend those muscles to lock themselves in. These bottom fish are a fun alternative to trolling. They offer work to pull out of their bottom dwelling holes and offer a great eating cuisine. The multiple rock and water ledges off of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose Del Cabo offer a myriad of opportunities to bottom fish to to catch nice sized grouper.
