Had this little fellow hitch a ride about 2 months ago .. about 25 miles out ... rode along for about 30 minutes. He was drinking water from a bottle cap

Anybody know what type he is ?

Oh by the way, I really like it since I was told how to post pictures

Great pic!!

Last fall we had a Lizard Hitch Hiker. He would come down the T-Top frame take a look around and crawl back into the lifevest bag....Mark

I think a stripe tailed yellow finch...

Google it, then select images....

A bird lover I am not, but it looks finchy to me..

Surprised to see him that far out.....finches usually stay land locked supposedly...

I had a Purple Martin on the boat for a rest about 25-30 miles out of Pensacola Fl.

Yeah looks like a gold finch I have them at my bird feeder all the time

I didn’t take this one But I saw this a few month back that was caught at Oregon Inlet , The tuna was hooked the shark was the hitch hiker and wasn’t giving up

I hoped you wouldn't notice.

Some people don't like it that I get Fish around the world like that .
