Elongated, sharp bills are another distinguishing trait of sailfish, one which they share with their relatives, the marlins. Sailfish use these bills like a club or bat, stunning their prey by slashing back and forth. But the most remarkable talent of the sailfish is the one you're most likely to miss – sailfish have been clocked at speeds exceeding 110 km/hour, the fastest recorded speed of any marine species!
