Wahoo
Wahoo, often called 'Ono' in Hawaiian, are incredibly fast, streamlined fish that inhabit offshore waters worldwide. They are solitary hunters, often found near weed lines, floating debris, and temperature breaks where baitfish congregate. The Wahoo's signature is its incredible acceleration; when it strikes a trolled lure or bait, it can reach speeds of over 60 mph in a matter of seconds, often resulting in a distinctive 'zipping' sound as line peels off the reel. Their diet consists mainly of smaller fish and squid. Due to their sharp teeth, wire leaders are essential when targeting Wahoo. They are a challenging and rewarding catch, offering a spectacular fight and delicious meat.
