Wahoo are one of
the fastest fish in the
sea. It is a powerful
fish that is found on
all 3 coasts. They
can grow to more than 140 pounds. Wahoo have
extremely sharp teeth, so you must handle them very
carefully.
Catching Wahoo
Wahoo are mostly caught by trollers fishing for other fish.
Surface skipping baits and lures catch lots of wahoo, but
more are caught by trolling deeper water. Deep-trolling
lures and downriggers are key to catching wahoo in
deeper water. Some anglers do well jigging for wahoo
while others have some success using chum lines. When
using chum lines for tuna, wahoo will come in to grab an
easy meal. If you have your line bit off a couple of times
while fishing for tuna, attach a short length of stainless
steel leader wire or cable because they are most likely
tuna biting through your line with their sharp teeth.
Wahoo are excellent fighters and they taste good which
makes them a favorite for most fishermen.
