Minor NomadCairns Wahoo
We caught this very nice 30kg Wahoo whilst fishing on our boat Catalyst for Black Marlin near Linden Bank on the outer section of the Great Barrier Reef 35NM from Cairns.
I know that in other locations they get much bigger, but it’s the largest Wahoo that I have personally seen and a big unit for Australian waters. It left a huge smile on the Skipper (me) and Anglers faces and broke up a very quiet morning chasing the big girls.
Angler (Rick) and his very nice Wahoo
It was caught on a 37kg stand up rod and gave a good fight even though we were fishing heavy tackle. The Wahoo savaged the short corner lure and took a 100m run on strike. Very Exciting stuff.
Deckhand (Travis) holds up the large fish for all to see.

Beretta682EGood stuff. Congratulations.
I want a big wahoo.
I had them tear up my jigging stuff in Lakshadweep last December.

You have got to love the Cock and Bull in Cairns. Its great for a beer and a pub meal. The life size game fish decorating the walls are amazing.
I live on the North Side of town and don't get into Cairns CBD all that much.
I am sorry but I don't know Graham.
