  • This was a fishing trip of a lifetime. Crossing over to the beautiful cobalt blue waters of Great Harbor, the goal was to catch Wahoos while High Speeding. Little to say we did more than that being rewarded with a Blue Marlin as well.
    The video includes a wahoo that we captured on film from the drone that was 100lbs and a blue marlin as well. Fishing with Captains Chip Sheehan and Tim Maddock the recipie for success was there aboard the 42' Invincible.

    Wahoo is found throughout the world’s tropical and sub-tropical waters. Wahoo spawns seasonally in the sub-tropics and year-round in tropical waters. This reproductive behavior, coupled with the fact that it matures early and can produce half a million to 45 million eggs, makes wahoo naturally resilient to fishing pressure. Their maximum age remains a mystery, though they are known to live at least five years.
    Days like this are very rare and seem magical when happening. I, for one, love fishing and respect conservation. However, there is no better feeling than having a day like this and providing all of your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors and their families with fresh wahoo filets. I always get asked for filets when I fish and typically don't have enough to feed 20 other people (after splitting with the guys I fish with).
    The marlin looked healthy kicking by the boat before photo. I heard the urgency in your voice getting a photo quickly so that it could get back in the wate

    That was a sick video, excellent fishing, editing, music fitted in nicely. I was just wondering, was catching and keeping that many wahoo necessary? I don't mean to jump to conclusions or anything.
    I was just thinking about limiting your kill and not killing your limit.

      Uhhh yea of course not bc you can’t catch that many.
      Any actual fisherman would definitely keep that many. You don’t leave biting fish until you have your limit. Not to mention by the time you pay for the boat, tackle, taxes, insurance, fuel, maintenance, etc… you are wasting a lot of money to drive to the Bahamas and catch two wahoo and come home! 😂

    I DO SEE it is not like the commercial netters raping the ocean AND I also see it is not really what most of us think as "sport" fishing. The boat does not even slow down. I don't "have a problem" with it. Just wish they could cut the engine and fish with maybe 40 pound class gear, steel leaders and have a good fight, instead of basically roping them in while the boat keeps going. Not as much fun--is that ok to say?

    • @dh7594
      @dh7594 Před 9 lety +7

      I agree... That looks so. Boring. I caught a 100 pound tuna in Mexico they cut the engine and let me fight it. It took 40 minutes in between barfing due to crazy swells.

    • @jimquantic
      @jimquantic Před 9 lety +2

      AND, you fought the fish--all by yourself. I have had some serious ass chewing by many people of late, because I have suggested people should fight their own fish--and not "hand off" to 2, 3, or more people during the fight. A lot of people don't agree that doing it yourself is "sporting" while handing off, is not. Of course, one thing that is NOT debatable is that the IGFA (international game fish associaion) will not recognize any kind of record for any fish if they find the angler handed off during the fight. A few other rules too: one, you can't let the rod touch the rail, and two, you must submit a piece of the fishing line so they can test it.

      LITTLE NIMROD They can't fish, the skipper and deck hand can fish. There's no reason at all for them to keep that many wahoo. They could easily have taken five or six and then just started catching and releasing. Ovefishing like this is so shortsighted...they basically just wiped out a whole shoal of wahoo.

  • @rolfjohnson830
    @rolfjohnson830 Před 5 lety +4

    Sure glad I fish wahoo from San Diego long range vessels. Four anglers troll and the vessel slides to a stop to land troll hooked fish. You and wahoo one on one. You crank fast to keep your fish hooked. Sure you lose a few but that’s fishing. Once the vessel stops that’s when the real fun begins. Tossing iron or live bait with 30-50 lb gear. Following the wahoo up the rail. Working with other anglers on the rail.
    You can keep your high speed trolling for wahoo. And you wonder why wahoo fishing is usually poor. Try keeping a few and not everything that hits the lure.

    @rski1036 Před 9 lety +65

    First of all I have to agree with MOST of the posters here. There was no need to keep that many Wahoo, and I sure as hell hope that Marlin survived but since I saw no evidence of it swimming away I can only assume it didn't make it due to the "importance" of the photo op. Now for the "fishing." Pressing a button on an electric reel sitting in a rod holder is hardly sport fishing so those cheering trip of a life time obviously have little clue. I lived 5 years in the Bahamas, caught plenty of fish including a 2nd place for a 448 lb Blue Marlin. You want to sport fish, find another boat and captain; one that either has a fighting chair, or stand-up rods and fuck those electric reels unless your just going to grab a few for dinner, especially deep drops. This vidio should be called, gaffing 101, there certainly wasn't any real fishing in the video.

    The rules in the Bahamas are each foreign VESSEL (not each person, each BOAT) is allowed to have on board no more than 20 POUNDS of fish on board. So several of the commenters are correct, this is not a video about fishing, it is a video about POACHING!
    If the world was a fair place the next time these rich idiots tried to check in to the Bahamas they would be arrested and have their boat seized. Also great teaching the kid how the rules only matter for those "other people".
    It's sad really. The first shot brags about how they spent $5000 on gas. I guess they figure that entitles them to kill fish that I think still works out to something like $50 a pound.

      Ken Riehl I hope your right but I doubt it. You really expect them to eat it for dinner every night which would take them quite a long time I doubt it. Seeing a lot of these type of people going to the Bahamas and bring it back all these fish usually 30% of it gets eaten at best. They have 21 wahoo ranging from anywhere from 20 to 60 something pounds they probably had a good 700 lb of Wahoo at least. That's over 2 months worth of meat if they ate 10 pounds a day

      Andrew Munro there’s plenty there where they went that migrate through in the winter. Unlike most places, the Bahamas is a spot in the world where you can catch numbers of fish like that and have zero impact on population.

    Fill the tanks, troll the lures and just sit to wait for a fish which is by no means strong enough to test the gear. No drag used, no chance for the fish to win ,not a real fight.
    Sorry guys but this not fishing.

    nice haul! only thing shouldn't have taken the marlin out the water if you were planning on releasing it. they have a high mortality rate once taken out the water. even if you see it swim away after you revive it beside the boat.
