A while back, my Daiwa SLD30ii handle seized up so I sent it to Alan for a power handle upgrade. It's killed a few fish since then, but my first wahoo is definitely my favorite of them all! Caught the week before Halloween crossing the Gulf of Mexico from Mobile to Key West @12 knots, about 400 feet of water.

Nice one ! I hope one day to have one on the end of my tight line...
Cool
WTG! Wahoo are my favorite fish! On my 1st 10 day we went to the Alijos Rocks and I caught 3 Wahoo! Two bucket list items checked off on one trip! I gave one to the only guy on the trip who didn't catch one... the only time I've ever given away a Wahoo! 'Hoo and grouper are the tops for eating.
Big one,,,,, ;) and great eating too,,,,,,, ;D
Nice, I bet the crew ate good that night. BTW Welcome to the forum.

Great fish, they not here where I stay. Once tried for them unsuccessfully in WA.
Welcome on board!
excellent !
I have caught one (1) wahoo.. in the sea of cortez, off a panga chartered for tuna. We were surrounded by schools of dolphin (mammal) and tuna, caught a few tuna, then I hooked something unbelievably fast. The line was peeling off astern while a fish jumped way off to my right.. which turned out to be the wahoo, moving fast.. it was terrific.
