hmmm lots of things fit that bill Like billfish... But nothing I know that is a rare catch... But I don't know my Billfish. 

I do have a lot of bills to pay however 

[Drop Bear]

I'm gonna guess a rare shark like a 7 gilled shark. 

[The Mad Hughesy]

all wrong so far, @Drop Bear is kind of on the money.

Clue 2 : pluck and strum

[Drop Bear]

I don't think that banjo sharks get that big...

[Drop Bear]

I have heard of guitar fish, I think they are a type of ray...

I don't really know them but they fit the clue. 

[Angry51]

I put 2 & 2 together and came up with= Pluck,, as in feathers

Strum= as in drumstick and got Chicken shark.

I hope that's right.
