According to Martinez, sailfish or marlin are commonly made into tiritas in Guerrero.
This picture was posted on his Facebook page and it shows him triumphantly holding a big sailfish fish he has just caught.
The sailfish tapped again, then took hold so hard and ran off so swiftly that I jerked sooner than usual.
The sailfish saw the shark and, waking up, he fought a good deal harder than before the sharks appeared upon the scene.
We stowed him up in the bow and got under way again, and scarcely had I let my bait far enough astern when a sailfish hit it.
The sailfish sheered round on the surface, with tail and bill out, while the shark swam about five feet under him.
Then I saw a smashing break of a sailfish coming out sideways, sending the water in white sheets.
