2cd largest wahoo ever speared!

3 days ago Cameron Kirkonnel speared a 118.5 lb wahoo off the Louisiana coast...this is the second largest EVER speared! The group of 3 divers landed 7 more wahoo between 52-86 lbs. Pics coming soon.

Awesome! Second largest? Now that could either be very annoying or brilliant. Looking forward to the pics.

Good to see you back Mike

Re: 2cd largest wahoo ever speared!

Those pics make looking out my window at the snow and 20 degree (Fahrenheit) temperatures that much more depressing. Beautiful Fish Though!!! Hat off to you.

Re: 2cd largest wahoo ever speared!

Here are a couple more pictures of Cam's fish. We stopped shooting them at noon. Passing on 50-60 pound fish was new for me. Once in a lifetime trip, very cool.
