    elusive wahoos, hungry bottom critters

    Went out with rockhound, stormtrooper, eric and kevin. The wahoos just had our number. We had countless knockdowns and just couldn't keep them hooked. Finally we get a hook in one and it nearly spooled our 25. Thought we had a giant one, turned out to be foul hooked, about 35 lbs. Caught one more that completely swallowed a 3 oz JAG, couldn't see any of it. On our way in we decided to stop at one spot we ran over in 110 ft. In 1 1/2 hrs, ended up with a bunch of big reds, three scamps, 9 jumbo beeliners, some triggers and best of all, a very respectable hog. The three people jigging worked the two baiters on the other side of the boat...... We also had two kitty mitchells on the jig. Made up for an almost frustrating day of trolling.

    Cheers,
    Arlen

    Meat in the box and dinner on the table is a great thing.

    Pretty hog there to go with the rest.

    Fantastic bottom catch and nothing wrong with two wahoos on the troll either. Thanks for the report and pictures.
    That big scamp is as good as I've seen this year. Did you get a weight on that fish?
