Among the thousands of shapes and forms found in the ocean, the wahoo stands out at the top of the list for its ferocious design. Its unmistakable appearance is perfectly tailored for speed, with a pointed nose, slender elongated body, and oversized tail, all of which liken it to a missile. While speed is the most notable attribute, it’s what it’s equipped with within its jaw that makes this species a formidable opponent. Wahoo are equipped with some of the most amazing denture structures in the animal kingdom. Its teeth are pointed and have serrated sides, which the lower and upper jaw fit perfectly into for a precise cutting tool, much like a pair of scissors. All these factors and more are why targeting wahoo is a specialized approach to angling.
