    I'd call him Bill, or maybe Fang but then again I usually don't name my fish.

    Sorry, I couldn't resist!

    Chirocentrus dorab (Forsskål, 1775)
    or
    Chirocentrus nudus (Swainson, 1839)
    or
    Trichiurus lepturus (Lin,1758 )

    Ok, I'm going to call it a Largehead Hairtail Trichiurus lepturus and go to bed. Wake me up if I won anything. 8)

    Oh I just noticed...Where I said Lin it should be Linnaeus. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you...8)

    I don't know which is worse, my typing or my spelling. LOL
