Yeah balls of steel you guys have for swimming with all the toothy critters. Nice wahoo.. Do they ever turn on you aggressively like barracuda, when I've hooked wahoo they've always swum towards me first then bolted at the first sign of the boat?
yip. cuda that one.

The biggest problem we have is the sharks like you say.There are times when we get out the water due to the number of sharks present and watch the fish swim past.
But there is nothing more exciting than having a school of Wahoo showing up around your flasher,picking one of them,diving down and putting a spear into it and watching my bouys go flyyyying of into the blue with a trail of bubbles.......almost better than sex!
Dr HH,we don't have trouble with Wahoo turning on us like barry's do.I have shot quite a few - my favourite fish in the sea to shoot and have never had a problem.You just need to stay away from the sharp end.

Yeah they are faaaaaaast. I was lucky to catch some from a dhow in Zanzibar a few years ago, the first one I got, 17 kg I think, got such a skrik when it saw me it took off at a turn of speed and power I had never experienced. Never looked back since then 
I seldom am chasing the bass these days.. Must be mal swimming in the water with one of them pulling you around, they go mad when you gaff them! I can see the thrill there haha.. Rather you guys than me though, respect!
