Pacific sailfish are known for their numbers in certain fisheries, often providing multiple shots throughout a single day. Built for speed, sailfish are among the fastest fish in the ocean and deliver explosive surface strikes. Once hooked, sailfish frequently leap and tail-walk across the surface in spectacular fashion. The eastern Pacific holds some of the most productive sailfish fisheries anywhere on the planet. Read our experience in Guatemala chasing these amazing fish!
