Whales

Rorquals of the Mediterranean; those were only 12 meters long , and no more than 10 tons...

5 meters nearer it was the accident, but I had priority.

Espadons

sure, it is a swordfish

The proof!

Sometimes we find exotic or tropical fish off "le Grau du Roi"

here a coryphene, more frequent on the road to the Antilles

as for this barracuda

Or for this tassergal, away from its African coasts

When the fish is too large for the landing net, a hand to hand fight becomes inavoidable.

F5AD: 1

Tassergal: 0

A bass, it is less exotic, but it is fine to eat.

as for the bonito.

With five mackerels and an oblade on the same line.
