Not true , Marlins are faster

[@FungusCrab]

The maximum speed for a Marlin is 68 mph, whereas the Pacific Sailfish can surpass that speed consistently in short bursts, reaching up to 81. Sailfish is, objectively speaking, faster.

That's quite remarkable, considering that huge sale must have quite a bit of drag in the water.@@FungusCrab

After all these years of knowing the Wahoo to be the fastest fish, people are still talking Marlin and Sailfish. But how are they clocking these fish? Many different and some ridiculous ways. And what makes people think the fish is actually swimming as fast as it can? The whole fish-speed thing is subjective nonsense and it still makes more hydrodynamic sense that the Wahoo is the fastest fish.
