Stoked to get a Wahoo - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

JohnMckroidJr · 10-14-2021, 04:16 PM

Last Saturday I had a double strike right before sunrise in 190ft off Pompano Beach, Florida.

On the deep bait, I pulled up a King Mackerel.

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.

Even though it was on the border of being a fish I would consider releasing, I was pretty stoked to get a Wahoo!

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.

The fresh Wahoo gave me an opportunity to try out Ecuadorian Wahoo Ceviche.

Another home run by the Fisherman's Belly!
