Giant Mexican Needlefish, Tylosurus crocodiles fodiator: These species photos are of a Giant Mexican Needlefish, 53 inches long, caught while fishing from the beach at Bahia el Rincon, East Cape, Baja California Sur, Mexico, in October 1998, on a live sardina and 8-pound line. My biggest were 61 and 59 inches. They were caught from my panga with a trolled artificial fly and a dead trolled sardina. Especially if they are over 4 feet, they are one of my all-time favorites. Description and photo courtesy Peter Langstraat.
