It's amazing to be able to catch such a beast off of a kayak.

The big Wahoo above was taken several years back by Ryan, an intern chiropractor apprentice from Iowa who wanted to see what kayak fishing was all about. He had never been fishing in the Atlantic Ocean before and had never even been in a kayak before. The fish dragged him from 110ft of water out to 320ft before his hands became numb and he handed the rod over to the angler who had baited his hook and been coaching him through the fight. Eventually, the fish was gaffed dead tired. Pretty amazing fish for anyone, let alone your first fish in the Atlantic and first time in a kayak.

Yes! but pretty rare for a big Wahoo. However, Tarpons and big Sharks are pretty common for anyone that wants to get a kayak fish sleigh ride.
