Species Overview

Bluegill

The bluegill is the most common sunfish in North America and often the first fish a young angler catches. Its deep body, dark ear flap, and iridescent blue-green colors make it easy to identify. A fierce predator of insects despite its small size.

Wahoo

The wahoo is one of the fastest fish in the ocean, capable of reaching speeds of 97 km/h. Its elongated, torpedo-shaped body and razor-sharp teeth make it an efficient pelagic predator found in tropical and subtropical waters worldwide.
