Triple Digit Wahoo!" | OIFC World Cat / Carolina Cat | 12/19/08

I first heard about this monster this morning when David McKethen out of Holden Beach stopped by the OIFC to tell me about the nice wahoo he lost at boatside yesterday. He said his fish weighed about 80-85 pounds but that Patrick Bryant, on the "Twister" had killed one that went over 100 pounds. Drew Shytle called me a litte bit later to let me know that the fish was 102 pounds. Several others have said that the fish came on a king mackerel rod while Patrick was grouper fishing and light-lining at the same time. All I can say is "wow!" Now that's a fish! With very inconsistent yellowfin tuna in our area over the past few years, wahoo (and BIG wahoo) have certainly filled the void and then some. Plus they're here about year round as well. They just might be the perfect gamefish. Congrats to Patrick on an awesome catch.

-Capt. Chris Burrows

You'd need a full size L'ville Slugger to put that monster to sleep! That would be downright scary boatside.
