Fish of a lifetime

Some of you may have seen our video filmed in November in North Carolina. Well, we've finished the second part showing Justin Bakers fish of a lifetime. We tried really hard to make you feel like you were there by watching. It's real life excitement and stoke. We were all so happy for Justin, and just overall excited just to be a part of it. The fact that we got it all on film was just so awesome.

Take a peek and let us know what you think: https://youtu.be/fTuUsF8qy0E

Very nice video. Was probably a cool sight to see that wahoo skipping across the top water.
What did it weigh?

Re: Fish of a lifetime

Excellent Excellent and Excellent. BTW that was a perfect text book shot on that wahoo. He was never getting off. The spot between the second dorsal fin and the anus fin is super boney and is the best spot to shoot any pelagic fish.
Nolan plays that back woods guy way too well. I am thinking he might have some shine in his veins. Hahahah!

Fish was well over 60lbs as we weighed it at the fish house we sold our APs to. Bigger wahoo have definitely been shot but it was the location we found this one that was cool. As far as we know its the only wahoo to have come from that area. We were in 65ft of water and its not like west palm or the keys where the gulfstream comes right up to the reef, we were a good distance from wahoo territory. We cant post any pictures as of yet though because its slated for an upcoming Spearing Magazine cover article. Check it out when it comes!
