What is the fish in that first picture?

I assume the bluefish looking fish are either blues or amberjack..

Thanks Bernzy Just got these from a International customer who is VERY HAPPY with the Performance as I am. The fourth photo is OVER 90lbs. and called a GT. Waiting for I.d on the other speices, There is debate at times on Split rings and swivels versus screw eyes. and cut hooks or closed eye. And the swivels and split rings held, ALSO the V.M.C hooks did not BEND . It proves to ME what I already NEW........... Top quality components WILL hold up......................

Over the Last Several Years HAB'S NEEDLEFISH Have Caught More "Confirmed" 30, 40, 50, and even 60 pound Striped Bass than any other Wooden Needlefish on the Market today. 2 Over 50lbs. and 1 Over 60lbs. in 2005 alone........... "HOOK UP WITH HAB'S" Your Best Bet For BIG BASS.....

Looks like a dogtooth tuna?
Same as in the international plug thread... have a killer rep for fighting very hard; as do GT's
They are on my someday list...

When I have a nice job and some money...
Or maybe never

I think the first two are GTs (giant trevally) too, the 3rd is a blooo bastage from the looks of it, and the last one looks like some kind of small tuna. I don't think an amberjack has those little finlets towards the tail

# 4 is a Giant Trevally just shy of 100lbs. And the last one is a Yellow Fin Tuna...................

I wonder what a 100-pound giant trevally-catching-custom Habby would fetch at some foo-foo marina on Grand Bahama?
I don't think those dudes are picking through the lure bins at Job Lot - they look like they wipe their butts with c-notes.....

Might be a Dog tooth Tuna, they around that area and have a more slender profile than most tuna. If you can see the mouth then there would be no doubt, they have teeth like a barracuda.
