Wahoooooo!!!!
Finally got my first big wahoo in over a year, and believe me, i've been trying to get one during that whole time. We figured the bluewater would be hot and we were right. We stopped and shot some trash fish for chum then found some nice rips/weeds with the birds working and flying fish....this was the spot, we could feel it as soon as we jumped in and there were bonita and other little baitfish everywhere.
I'm just floating on the surface scanning and I see this hoo coming in, I dropped down to his depth (15ft or so) and just waited, as he passed by I closed the gap a little and took about a 15ft shot and the fish just kept swimming at the same slow speed...no typical blistering 50mph wahoo initial run that I'm used to. blood was coming out everywhere and i knew he was hurt...after 10 minute fight or so and putting two more shafts into the fish (thanks ryfish and riely) I was able to grab onto him and brain him. Thanks killian for the great pictures...and sorry for dropping the hoos mouth on your foot and cutting it. we came back to the inside and killian shot a big kingfish on a deep 80ft dive. This is what its all about for me....this is the fish that I try to get 99% of the time I go out diving. It makes the hundreds of dollars in gas and hours of getting skunked in the bluewater desert totally worth it. Last edited by TheMackDaddy; 05-19-2011 at 03:13 PM. |
