Wahoo is hands down, the best eating fish in the ocean.

I would LOVE to catch one of those someday. I bet it would punish me as much a tarpon did.

Hmmm...well, from the looks of the first photo, that wahoo was actually caught just south of the Block Island Bridge.....
Hey, you can't fool me that easy  |
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

I've never tried wahoo but I was thumbing thru Simon and Schusters guide to saltwater fishing and fishes, and was shocked that they simply list the wahoo as "edible". In fact, "edible" is their lowest rating for table fare. Pretty cool little pocket guide by the way folks. Makes for good "thumbing" when theres some down time at work. |
