Covington 2-25-08.jpg

Steven Covington and his crew from Meridian, MS, should thank Mike Shankle. After going 1 for 9 on wahoos the day before, we somehow turned it around, going 5 for 5 with Steve and his buddies, and putting the boat back closer to “even steven” for the 2 day wahoo hook-up ratio. You know what we did differently? Nothing! That’s just wahoo fishing. Here’s Duncan with the last ‘hoo of the day that weighed in at 84#, our biggest so far this year. After a long initial run, this fish really threw us for a loop, wrapping the line around one of the lower units. Miraculously, we kept the wahoo on the line during an involved untangling procedure and ended up with a nice box of wahoos.
