Yesterday, while warming up for the MARTINIS HOOK A HOO RODEO, Jeff, Chance, Jimmy Martini and Eric Jordan caught the wahoo of a lifetime!

Fishing offshore out of Little River SC, the DIRTY MARTINI crew was dragging baits when the BLUE WATER CANDY JAG got smashed.

After a 30 minute knock down drag out, the BIG SOW came to the boat. Martini says he knew it was a nice fish but realized it was a bruiser when the fish rolled just off the corner, all he could see was the white of the fishes underside.

The fish then went under the boat and into the motors where the leader hung up in the props. Martini says he knew he had to get the fish now or it was over. He leaped the transome and stuck the big HOO between the motors. Realizing he couldnt swing the fish over the motors, he and the crew drug the Hoo through the transome door and onto the deck.

Then it sunk in what they had! The fish was over 6 ft long and had a 32 inch girth. Per the formula it weighed 92 lbs. Biggest yet he thought!

At the scales the true weight was realized. 101 lbs! Amazing fish!

Last night I went up and shot a picture of the beast with me holding it. Gives you an idea of the size when you consider my mass....Im 6'3" 310lbs.

Great warm up for the upcoming Martinis HOOK A HOO RODEO! Just proves what a great fishery we have offshore for these fish. Got o www.martinisfinedining.com for info on the tourney.
