Wahoo

Is it true that Wahoo was caught in the Maltese waters??? I was having a look in Johnathan's website and there is a picture of a wahoo not sure if it was caught here.
IF we start getting wahoo it will be a BLAST as they grow big and a nice fish to catch.

Thanks shanook, I hope they migrate to malta and come visit my lure :p.. Theyre very nice game fish and ive heard good eating.

yes very good eating and a prize fish to catch both for power and durability of the combat. I doubt that we will have them here as they are tropical but as everyone knows the climate is changing and we are getting all sorts of fish.......

I wouldn't be surprised if Wahoo come visiting us.....they are very popular in the Florida area, and most fish in that area come to the Med to spawn.
