What was your favorite wahoo fact from this video?

I'm pretty good at finding wahoo and for everyone watching, he's spot on. Don't over-think it. Excellent video with zero fluff.

I learned of this fish from a paragraph in a book mentioning that it’s the fastest long distance swimming fish.

Only caught a few, 1st was Hawaii and the salty crew members told me it’s customary to eat the eyeballs.
Didn’t phase me because I took the rest back to bbq, hard fish to capture without wire .
Hard fighting but excellent eating . Watch out for the chompers, one got me on the arm .

great video, I started following you. I'm crossing from Boca Raton to Bimini and if you were going to troll for wahoo with two lines out what would you use this time of year?

Anyone else noticed his right middle finger’s tip digit and wonder what happened?

In India we call Seer fish or king fish. In my coastal area we call Vangiram fish.

I caught a nice one trolling a lure made from a toothpaste tube.
