ID this whale. :)
Energy and I were out fishing on Sunday in Costa Rica and this whale came up next to the boat with a huge wahoo in it's mouth. I think this is a "false killer whale", but was wondering if anyone knew for sure??? The whale was as long as our 23 foot boat. You can see the "white" above and below the wahoo and you can see the whale's bottom teeth.

Either that or a pilot whale but I would say you are correct as they are know for eating Mahi Mahi and other large fish.

At first I was thinking a little over four feet, but now I notice the wahoo's head is gone, which I couldn't see on my camera screen. I would say about five feet.

 I am sure it will be "broke" when it is time for tank pictures.
