Stoked to get a Wahoo
Last Saturday I had a double strike right before sunrise in 190ft off Pompano Beach, Florida.
https://i.postimg.cc/yN3kM77K/Sunris...-Strikefsm.jpg On the deep bait, I pulled up a King Mackerel. https://i.postimg.cc/kgkCTgmP/Gaff-Kingfsm.jpg The fish that hit the surface bait had stripes! It was no giant but broke the dry run that would have been 2 years by next January. https://i.postimg.cc/4yM2XnwJ/1-Wahooifsm.jpg Even though it was on the border of being a fish I would consider releasing, I was pretty stoked to get a Wahoo! https://i.postimg.cc/d1N49Db8/1-Double-Strikecfsm.jpg After the morning bite, things got slow, with no bites on the jigs. Before the morning was over with, I did catch 3 Cuban Wahoos....AKA Great Barracudas. https://i.postimg.cc/xq6v9Z9L/Cuda1bfsm.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/RN8wHn6F/Cuda2bfsm.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Vd5jvFNp/Cuda3bfsm.jpg The fresh Wahoo gave me an opportunity to try out Ecuadorian Wahoo Ceviche. https://i.postimg.cc/QtgSR0KJ/Ceviche.jpg Another home run by the Fisherman's Belly! :cheers1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVG4SYm6kqE |

Wahoos are clean water open ocean fish while the Kings can sometimes be found just outside the breakers and frequently in dirty water. Both are noted for mercury, but the King Mackerel are on reduced consumption/do not eat lists. Otherwise, they would be a regular on my menu. |
Bummer....
On the consumption report. I ate alot of fish this year. I don't feel any different. I was thinking about getting tested for mercury, I think its about $80 to get tested. I ate way more fish than your suppose to.Blue water makes a big difference. I have noticed a big difference in taste in lobster and yellowtail alijos rocks and Cortez banks vs la Jolla and SD Bay lobster

That wahoo is a nice looking fish!
|
Dream fish and from a kayak... Congratulations!
