The name mahi-mahi comes from the Hawaiian language and means "very strong", through the process of reduplication. Mahi-mahi have compressed bodies and a single long-based dorsal fin extending from the head almost to the tail. Mature males have prominent foreheads protruding well above the body proper. Females have a rounded head. Mahi-mahi are highly sought for sport fishing and commercial purposes. Sport fishermen seek them due to their beauty, size, food quality, and healthy population.

Mahi mahi grow up to almost 7 feet and 88 pounds.
They live up to 5 years.
Can be caught year round but peak in Sept-Nov
Bright pattern fades almost immediately after mahi mahi is harvested.
