After you guys managed to answer my question last time ( http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... ), I'm back again with another one.

Any idea what this is? Apparently it is about 15-20 feet long, found approximately 300 miles off the coast of Brazil/French Guyana, and has a tendency to eat dorado. It looks a bit like a dolphin, but with quite a rounded nose.

She's about 85% of the way across now.

I'm not entirely convinced all the fish-based suggestions have been sensible (aren't porpoises a little small?). I want you to come up with an answer that's either scary, rare or just slightly cool (and, preferably, plausible). No boring ideas are welcome!!

It's the Back of a Black Marlin



In fact this is the actual fish.

Shortly after this picture was taken the Marlin managed to slip the noose and escaped.

It's currently roaming the seas with revenge on mankind it's only thought!

Too dark for a perch, more like a Tench (though there's a distinct lack of bubbles on the surface)
