How Big
The largest hoo was 31 lbs, the rest were carbon copies of each other around 15 lbs. They were the smallest hoos I have seen. The fish I lost late in the afternoon was most likely a monster bassed on the inability to do anything with it, but I guess that's how the big ones get bigger. It was kind of funny because at the docks severeal people were admiring the "kings", needless to say if I had walked up I would have thought the same at first.
It did not seem to matter what we had in the water and we varied the speed from 5 knots to as much as 11 knots. I bet the fish tore up at least 10 baits beyond repair in a variety of colors. The first few fish came on baits trolled with meat, around the pallet I think we could have gotten bit on a piece of string with a hook.
It was a crazy day when we could not buy a bottom bite yet the wahoo bite was out of control. Between my friendds and myself wee went offshore 3 days last week and all of us had a miserable time getting a bottom bite.
