Billy The Marlin's Character Traits

An absolute master of pantomime
An eternal optimist no matter what
A natural-born clown/comic/mimic and good-natured prankster (always in good taste). Anything concerning baseball is considered "fair game"
Innovative-makes do with what he has to work with
Occasionally clumsy, but maintains a sense of decorum
Always manages to come out on top in the end
When fishing, it's always for fans, ball players or umpires. Bait is giant over-sized food or drink found at the ball park (hotdogs, peanuts in shells, pizza, etc.)
Slippery and evasive, this magnificent fish could very easily be the leader of the "untouchables"
