Made a promise to my son that I would let everyone know about his first wahoo. Trusted NOAA and went to the Edge Saturday. Lines in the water at 730. Snake King by 800. Had a king or a hoo sky on a bait around 830.
930 had a good run on the wayback. My boy Fought the fish for about 15 or 20 minutes on the spinning outfit before Conkle put the gaff in him. Needless to say we were pumped when we saw the stripes on the Hoo at the side of the boat and even more pumped when He hit the ice. He measured out at 46 inches. We didnt have a scale.....not real sure on the weight. We were guessing between 30 and 35. We trolled a little longer and decided to head north with the wind shifting out of the south. Stopped at a snapper spot inside 9 miles and got 3 between 18 and 20 inches. We also picked up 2 more kings. What a day! Stopped at the pump on the way home and only burned 20 gals. That was the icing on the cake.
Cant wait for the next chance to get out of the box.

Congratulations on your sons first Who. I can still remember how big my sons smile was on that first one. Had a t-shirt imprinted with the picture and he wouldn't want to take it off to wash it.

| Twenty gallons on a trip to the edge! When the conditions are right you can't beat a bayboat with a four stroke. It is really neat to see such a nice fish caught from a small boat. Congratulations!

Good job Dad. Play it up real big. Keep him interested in fishing instead of running the streets with the wrong crowd.
