Walter Garner and his group from Grenada, MS, earned it the hard way. To say the action was non-stop would certainly be an overexaggeration. These guys gutted it out two days in a row with much more than flat seas, and were rewarded in the end. On day 1, we didn’t have a single fish in the box until 3 PM. After a double strike or two, we ended up with a pair of nice yellowfin, a handfull of blackfins, and almost a wahoo. On day two, we had more fog and wind, but pretty water was close to the pass so we decided to try some of the closer rigs and see what happened. What happened was it got rough. Someone on the boat must have packed the lucky horseshoe, because in the middle of nowhere, trolling open water along the 100 fathom curve, we got two bites. And what a pair they were- a 76# and a 94.5# wahoo. Interestingly, both wahoos were almost exactly the same length, but look at the difference in girth. That’s a double header that will put a smile on anyone’s face.
