Silver/White Sailfish "Unicorn" Caught off Guatemala

The Billfish Unicorn, one in a million, or an albino sailfish?

Whatever you want to call it, it’s a sight you will never forget if you are lucky enough to see it.

Congrats to Paul Renfro and his group for releasing a leucistic sailfish (proper scientific name).Leucistic animals do not have the pink eye that's found on true albino animals.

Mr. Renfro and his group were fishing on our new boat, Libertad (40’ G&S).

Guatemala is known as the sailfish capital of the world, but with the thousands of sails released each year, it’s a rare catch for sure.

The last time this happened was in 2018, when another leucistic sailfish was caught in our waters.
