Another nice day on the water

**bwhitaker** · 10-18-2008 10:05 PM

Its been to long since I've taken the time to post a report. Today was a beautiful day on the water with a group from PA. On the way
out we stopped to watch a huge school of blacktip sharks putting on an acrobatic show for a few minutes. A few miles later we found a surfboard in like new condition!

A little after 8 am we arrived in the gulf stream ready to catch some fish. Before we even get all the lines out we hook up a 40 lb. wahoo! Off to a great start!

The next two or three hours we pick away at dolphin, blackfin tuna and king mackerel. The Calcutta Wahoo Challenge starts in a week and we need more!!

Next comes another 40 pound wahoo.

Then it happens, a bill comes slashing thru the spread! Jeff drops the bait back and BAM its on!
The fish stays deep until beside the boat. Its a sailfish and it is huge! One if not the fattest sailfish I've ever seen. Fish was released in great condition after a few boatside pictures.

High fives are going around the boat while we discuss fishing another hour when all hell breaks loose. Line is screaming off of a 30 wide like it was nothing. Lines are quickly cleared and our angler begins recovering line.
Its staying deep and acting like a wahoo. Finally she comes to the boat and its a freaking slob wahoo. All three wahoo are citations, but this one we take over to Freeman's Discount Tackle later that night and got the angler a citation for a 67# wahoo!

The sea holds one more suprise for us; An anchor ball, floating along in the middle of nowhere!
Another fine day at the office!!

The surfboard was an interesting find. It was too short for any of us on the boat so gave it to some friends with younger children.

Caught your big Wahoo's twin Wed above Diamond Shoals. It was a 67# aswell. Good steaks on the grill. Sounds like a great day.Frank
