World's Biggest Dorado (Mahi Mahi) Ever Caught

The dorado or mahi mahi or dolphinfish is a member of the Coryphaenide family. Found worldwide in tropical and warm temperate seas, the dolphinfish is pelagic, schooling, and migratory. Though occasionally caught from an ocean pier, it is basically a deep-water species, inhabiting the surface of the open ocean. When hooked dolphin may leap or tailwalk, darting first in one direction, then another. It is believed that they can reach speeds up to 55 mph (83.5 kph) in short bursts. Successful fishing methods include trolling surface baits (flying fish, mullet, squid, strip baits) or artificial lures; also live bait fishing or casting. DISTRIBUTION: All Oceans MAX SIZE: 130 lb / 58 kg MAX LENGTH: 74 inch / 190 cm MAX AGE: Less than 7 years More at: http://bigfishesoftheworld.blogspot.com

18. mahi mahi is part of the Scombridae family not Coryhaeninde .you have to be very careful if you plan on eating your catch you can get Scombroid poisoning which can result from eating fish that is not immediately refrigerated or frozen after it is caught. It is usually associated with big, meaty fish such as tuna, mackerel, mahi mahi and albacore. Symptoms are caused by a histamine-like toxin produced by bacteria that normally live on the fish. The longer a fish sits out before being refrigerated or frozen, the greater the bacterial load, and the greater the risk of scombroid poisoning.
19. They don't even live to reach 7 yrs? Seriously? A lot of other fish can live on for decades..
