THe Wahoo are back !







Departed Owls Creek promptly at 0400 with Otter, Scott Sinclair, Mark (voodoo) and Johnny (Mr. Blue Marlin on billable) to a gorgeous ride out to the fishing grounds....had the spread out by 0615 and started trolling....had a meat spread out but not much happening...finally around 0930 or so the Left Long G&H Sea Witch gets hammered...we're thinking White Marlin because there has already been a couple caught....Scott Sinclar is up because he doesn't have a Marlin under his belt and we wanna throw somebody in the creek.....Great fight and finally get color and it's no Marlin...it's a big ass Wahoo all lit up with his stripes just glowing Neon Blue....Voodoo sticks him and he's in the boat....nice fish goes to where fish go to die...STILL THINK'N COFFIN ....Spend the rest of the day trolling around with a Marlin spread...circle hooks, teaser ...the whole nine yards....Get two whites in the spread that steal our Circle hook baits but don't come tight.....Get two nice Mahi on our Circle hooks that dont come tight....Call it quits around 3pm and make the run in to Fisherman's Wharf to weigh the fish....Now he's a nice one for sure and bets are taken on how much he weighs...I call 62 pounds even and he goes 62.2 pounds for Scott's Citation Wahoo.....Now I know why Circle hooks are good for conservation....Because they don't catch fish !.......
