Chasing Massive Wahoo Offshore! (High Speed Trolling)

“The early bird gets the worm” is an old adage that proved true for creators John McLean (Big John Outdoors) and Jack Moran (Yakin’ with Jack) during a late spring fishing trip in the Gulf of Mexico. The team capitalized on a calm weather window and took their Mako 214CC offshore to blue water, aiming to land a trophy wahoo. Wahoo bite is best in low-light conditions, so the team had to make the morning hours count.
After an hour of high-speed trolling, John and Jack had just landed a cow mahi-mahi when the Penn International 30W started to sing, with line peeling off the reel rapidly. A second strike on a different rod followed, prompting the team to scramble to keep both fish on the lines. It wasn’t long before a 70-pound wahoo and a 30-pound king mackerel were gaffed and brought on board. Back at the dock, the team cleaned their catch and took the fillets to The Sandbar, a local favorite restaurant, for a catch-and-cook feast.
