good to hear you still got your fingers. Sounds like an awesome trip. Ive never kept a cuda for the table cause of their potentially poisonous flesh. Especially the larger ones.

exactly what i thought with the cudas

checked with a couple of other sources when i came home, the same answer

wish i brought some of that meat home...just the hoo

[quick decision]

I caught a wahoo on my honeymoon in 02 in Aruba. Once you leave the marina your in deeeep water. You caught it on your vs200. That must of been nutz.
