Wahoo

Wahoo

The Wahoo tends to be a loner or travel in small groups of 2 to 6 fish. It is found around wrecks and reefs where smaller fish that it feeds upon are abundant, but it may also be found far out at sea.

 

It is reputed to be one of the fastest fish in the sea, attaining speeds of 50 mph (80 km) and more. The first scorching run may peel off several hundred yards of line in seconds. Occasionally this fish jumps on the strike and often shakes its head violently when hooked in an effort to free itself. .
