That's a tough 15 year old girl. Don't mess with her.

Man, that a hugh "hoo". Bigger than any that I have ever caught and I fish offshore twice a week down here in South Florida. Congrats!

"was barely hanging together on monofilament leader that was chafed from the fish fight, from one end to the other and worn thin at the loop"

She's lucky to have even hooked it with mono leader, their teeth are like razor blades and they have the meanest looking mouth of any fish or animal.

On time on a trip to Cabo we were trolling for marlin south of Magdalena and got hit by Wahoo and all the rod tip did was bearly dip when he hit and cut off the 180# mono leader, we shifted to steel leader and had 4 wahoo within 10 minutes.

Man can you imagine the stories? It'll take them a hundred years to tell em all.

This is something these folks will hash over tons of times.

I had no idea they approached that size.
Supposedly the name comes from the fisherman yelling W A H O O !!

Extremely fast strong swimmers. Noted for swimming toward the boat at lightning speed when fighting..

I've had it raw, very good. Excellent steaked, smoked, broiled. Better than King Mackerel.

For Texas, that's just a bait fish.

WoW. Big Fish. I have canned Albacore Tuna for years and the largest I have handled was about 50 pounds. Tuna caught off the North West Coast is cut and bled and flash frozen on the boat immediately to preserve the texture...
