Wahoo

Wahoo feed on such pelagic species as porcupinefish, flyingfish, herring, pilchards, scad, lanternfish, and small mackerel and tuna, as well as on squid.

The wahoo grows so quickly that both sexes span sexual maturity during the first year of life. They average 10 to 30 pounds, and 4 to 5 foot lengths are common. The maximum size is 7 feet and more than 180 pounds. The alltackle world record is a 158-pound, 8-ounce fish taken off Baja California, Mexico, in 1996.
