Interesting fish with a crest similar to a Dorado.
QuoteIt is a big ellipsoidal fish, growing to two metres in length. It is pink in color and possesses a characteristic bulging forehead.
It is found in surface waters of temperate and tropical oceans throughout the world. It feeds on jellyfish, ctenophores and other soft-bodied planktonic animals.
is it edible? because I think the mola mloa feeds on jelly fish too and cant be eaten , I think.
Looks to me like it would be delicious and have high yield.
I knew someone that shot a mola (sunfish) in Cuba. He said there was very little yield and that he wouldn't do it again.
I remember seeing my first sunfish when i was about 8, we were out with my old man trolling for dolphin in
our old bayliner. At first it looked like a shark cut in half from the boat. Those outings with my old man were
not always fun, half the time me my brother and him were constantly arguing and fighting it was more
stressful than relaxing.
I guess hook and line fishing will do that 
yes , sometimes there were fists flying, and anything that was close by could be used as a weapon.
Me and my brother of course would look after each other. I can say we weren't brought up on the time out, or go sit in the corner style upbringing.
Reading your post reminded me of this one time I went with Pantoja and we saw a guy with a treble hook from one of those lures deeply embedded in his leg. He was at the gas station and there were emergency officials on the scene. They were trying to cut the lure off with dull pliers. I posted a picture of it, which I took when the guy wasn't looking I can't find it now.
Supposedly mola mola have a small chunk of meat somewhere that is better than lobster.
Davie, it's been a while since your lobster enchilado :delicious: But please don't kill a mola

could it be el cachete(cheek)?
is it legal to catch/spear one?
i dont think i would kill an animal like that, even if it tasted like
I might have to admit. I never heard of this fish or even seen one until now. And it says in Tropical Waters. Could of been the pacific side?. Might taste good though:rolleyes1:. Is like the Orcas in the Caribbean. Lots of people dont belive they exists. But they do. they think they only live in cold waters.
The ocean always throwing something new towards us:). I wonder what will i learn next. I find that fish very interesting.
