Caught this guy friday out in the canyon and he had a strange hole in his head with a piece of bone protruding from it ?

I think a marlin tried to whack him in the head with his bill and he lived through it ? the bone looked to be his skull that was fractured when he was hit by the bill. You can clearly see a bill shaped dent in his head.

At a glance I thought cookie cutter shark, but now that I see the bone, I agree with the marlin bill.

That dolphin is like the my name is earl of the fish world. He was lucky enough to survive a marlin attack only for you to gaff him in the forehead moments later. Kinda like winning the lottery then getting hit by a car. Real nice fish though. I thought we would run by some friday afternoon but no such luck

Yes.  That would be a marlin or possibly a sword fish, because a swordfish has more of a tendecy to use his sword more than a blue.  That is why it is called a sword on a sword fish and a bill on a blue.

Fish are amazing what they can take and just shake off.  It that was a human they would be crying and dying.

Whatever happened to it, you did that fish a favor!  He wouldn't have survived much longer longer with that thing.  All that resistance, only a matter of time before it was culled by another gamefish.
