Re: show us your fish
Tailors ...what a great fish. They're known as bluefish in the US, I think they call them elf or shad in South Africa, and they have other names elsewhere. But everywhere they occur they have the same reputation for aggressiveness. My dad earned a nice scar on his ring finger trying to unhook berserk bluefish on a party boat off NJ. Heard that story oh about 1000 times.
I believe that the only ocean in which they don't occur is the Pacific, which sucks for me. I miss 'em, one of my favorite fish to catch and eat.
