Wahoo fishing
About Wahoo
One of the fastest fish in the ocean, a sleek pelagic predator that scythes through bait schools with razor teeth in warm offshore water. High-speed trolling with planers, lures and rigged baits near reefs, drop-offs and current lines is the go-to method. Its first run is blistering and its teeth shear leaders, so use a short wire trace and a reel with smooth, strong drag.
Typical size: Typically 8 to 25 kg; trophy fish over 40 kg. Record (approx.): approx. 80 kg (varies by region).
