The ballyhoo or bally, Hemiramphus brasiliensis, is a baitfish of the halfbeak family (Hemiramphidae). It is similar to the Balao halfbeak (Hemiramphus balao). Ballyhoo are frequently used as cut bait and for trolling purposes by saltwater sportsmen. A big variety of fish love ballyhoo. It is one of the greatest known fish to catch Sailfish on.
Ballyhoo is also used in colloquial American English to refer to brashness or flamboyance. The term Ballyhoo is used to indicate that one is using any means necessary to inflate an object or idea to a status to which it does not rise. This references the bait fish in that selling ballyhoo requires deceitful advertising[citation needed].
Ballyhoo! is also the name of a Rock Reggae fusion band based in Maryland.

Thats pretty cool. The method of breaking the back by pushing down is interesting. I did notice the top bait had a forward facing fin that wasn't clipped and the bottom appeared to have an alien that wasn't removed. But other than that, the guy did have a nice choice of lures.

My question is this, Can a wahoo bite through bead chain? I have seen them bite through 8 wire this year like it was mono. Just wondering, as I have never actually seen/held a bead chain rig before. I don't think they sell those here.

I had to cringe when I saw the fresh water (probably chlorinated) sprayed on the hoo's I am curious just how tooth proof they really are?

I gave the guy the benefit of the doubt and assumed it was the raw water washdown.

If anyone knows him, will you please send him this link.
