This impressive wahoo weighed 105 lbs and was 68 inches long. Roy Lenois caught it last Mothers day. His neighbor Bruce had never been trolling before he was on the rod and Roy was at the helm. They had to chase the fish twice to keep it from spooling the Shimano TLD 25. A trip these friends will not forget any time soon.
