Fast, aggressive and flat out mean, the wahoo appears out of nowhere, feeds and moves on. When hooked they are among the fastest fish in the ocean, and the larger specimens will dump all the line off the reel on the first long run. The average Wahoo we encounter on the Treasure Coast is around 20 pounds, but fish over 50 pounds are fairly common. Not as common as dolphin, Wahoo are caught on the edge of the Gulf Stream, usually around structure or floating lines of sargassum weed. The small fish holding under the weed make up a large portion of the Wahoo's diet. During the summer months, Wahoo dog the little tunny schools, often feeding from their ranks. It's common to hook a little tunny, and have a Wahoo eat it right at the side of the boat. Wahoo are difficult to target because of their range and movements, and most of the Wahoo we land are part of incidental catches when targeting dolphin and little tunny. As a rule, any time we are live chumming offshore we are targeting a variety of gamefish, Wahoo included. There are no size or bag limits on Wahoo.
