Wahoo

Species: Acanthocybium solandri (Cuvier & Valenciennes, 1831) Perciformes - Scombridae - Wahoo
Local Name: Tangingue, Wahoo, Bayokbokan, Tangige, Tangigi, Tangigue, Tangigue, Tangigue-batang, Tangih, Tanguigui, Tanguingui, Tanigi, Tanigue
Size:  Usually 10-50 pounds, maximum about 200 pounds
Tackle and Baits:Many Wahoo are hooked on heavy tackle, incidentally to Billfishing. Best choices,
however, are light to medium ocean trolling outfits with lines up to 30-pound test; 50-pound isn't too heavy for good sport with big specimens. A few have been caught by deep jigging or ocean casting with spinning and baitcasting tackle - even fly tackle on rare occasion. Most productive bait is a weighted feather or similar trolling lure, rigged in combination with a whole small baitfish or large strip. Surface trolling is sometimes effective, but deep trolling is much more likely to produce a Wahoo.
World Record: 158 pounds
Habitat: Roams the deep blue water, but anglers can find them by working dropoffs, seamounts, weedlines and other favorable feeding locations.
Description: Long, slender body marked with zebra-like stripes of white and deep blue or black. Mouth is elongated and narrow, and equipped with razor-sharp teeth - careful!
Fishing System:Drifting; Trolling.
Game Qualities: May strike a surface bait in spectacular, greyhounding fashion, but seldom jumps after being hooked. Wild fight characterized by several sizzling runs, usually  near surface. One of the fastest of all gamefish
