Headed straight out towards the 226 hole Thursday, stopped on the ledge to try it out and stayed all day. First fish was a 30-40 lb Wahoo within the first hour. Then the dolphin bite turned on. Alot of action but missed about 5 small dolphin on short strikes. One slinger and one gaffer in the boat. Decided to troll back over the ledge one last time in the afternoon and caught a daymaker Wahoo around 50-60 lbs. Perfect 30 minute fight and 2 large crewmembers to get the beast in the boat. 2 for 3 on the Wahoo. SW wind sucked totally soaked on the way in.
We fished G Town hole and SW banks looking for wahoo all day- we ran a total of 230 miles and it was very rough- only caught one dolphin at 25 lbs- super jealous of the wahoo you caught…we really needed it for a tournament- i guess you never know what the ocean holds but congrats on the day and for being one of a few boats brave enough to fish yesterday
We were in a brand new 27 ft Sea Hunt center console “The Black Pearl” owned by T Franzone in the pics and the seas were sideways nasty all day. We were able to run 25-30 MPH on the way out and 20-25 MPH on the way in. Not real big waves, only 3-4 ft but steady 15-20 kt wind. We caught every third wave in the face on the way home but it was worth it. Fun first trip of the season.
Why do you guys bother posting reports? All the fishing gods on here already know what you caught anyway. Heck it’s fishin what would be the fun of it if you don’t get to stretch it a little. The fishing gods are awesome, they know how much your fish weigh, i think it gives them a woody. Whatever floats their bigger than mine boat i guess. Congrats on some nice fish and good luck next trip.

It was a fun trip and the 60 Lb wahoo just capped it off, that was a thick fish, I had a great crew, the Gaff man was Incredible and the man at the wheel did awesome as well to keep the fish from getting into the props. Way to go guys “Let do it again.”

Maybe you should post on the supersensitivefisherman.com. Over there, they won't haggle you for overestimating the size of your fish and if someone offends you, they are required to send you a hand written apology on floral stationary with a bit of sweet perfume on it, maybe even some vanilla fields or freesia if you are lucky. One offended fishermen even received a loofa sponge in the mail with an exfoliation stone for their feet... It's a great site...
OK Here is a better picture of the Wahoo in question. For reference
Tom is 6’4" and 250 lbs. The girth of the fish was 28" = REAL FAT.
How much does it weigh?
Well, since you asked… I could believe that the larger one is in the 50+lb range, but don’t think that the smaller one is close to 40. I would like to call bull**** on Tom being 250lbs though…
Anyway, definitely a nice wahoo. I realize that you haven’t done this, but other’s get all twisted up when you challenge them on weights and I think it’s silly for grown men to get their feelings hurt about being challenged on fish weights… That was really my only point about posting. It’s fishing, and it’s competitive. Get used to it! If it’s too much, there is always crochet or cooking.
