Gaffed wahoo on floor of a sportfishing boat

Now that we’ve caught a handful of wahoo, I’m pleased to say that they lived up to their legendary reputation for blistering speed, brute strength and sheer ferocity. What’s even more incredible is realizing that in the depths, there are predators even larger and more fearsome that hunt them.

I’m far from the first to appreciate that, and plenty of top tackle makers have introduced wahoo-inspired patterns into their lineups. If you’re looking to add some proven wahoo weapons to your spread, here are a few to check out:
