Hey there genius boy.  I have been out of town all week trying to support my family and wanted to enjoy a day out with my wife and daughter.  And for the record since you are so smart I had zero beers at Peg Legs 4 witnesses and a receipt.  I have exactly $20 invested in the Outcast Family Fishing rodeo and only do it to support Daybreak and Tommy at Outcast, but I will be fishing today and I will let the Adams' and Holmes your family your thoughts.  Are you related to this Xanadu fella, Bodacious, and Bama Chem because if you are, you all need to back across the line and stay there before we get pissed off and take Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, and Dauphin Island back from you and the Bear and your genius new coach Nick "2 face, back stabbing, slime ball, Crooked," Coach.  See you in the wahoo grounds, but that's right you guys don't know where they are.

Is that suppose to intimidate me.  You want to throw your battle wagon in too.  So we can get 2 more of those enviromentally unfriendly pieces of crap engines of the water.  So we can stop supporting your friends in Iraq, OPEC, Japan, and China.  What you get .1 miles to the gallon and you go 300 miles round trip mmmmmm.  Why you guys get together and join the 21st century.  There is this great new technology called four strokes and fresh air with no air conditioning with no generators needed then come talk to me.  There is a reason why the don't sell 9000# airplane cable in tackle stores genius.  30 Stretch on a 130 are you guys !@#$% comedians or what.  That must like a turd hanging out of an elephant.  Let me guess you got one of those manly Palmetto fighting chairs with your big harness too.  I love it.  Good luck.

I have an idea you guys call mercy I won't call the fishing police to make you go back to Alabama with the Gill Netters because that's you real men catch fish right????

TEAM GET RIGHT!!!

Am I supposed to be scared?  Wow.  Talk about showing ignorance.  Yep.  I was trying to make a joke about the 130 and stretches.  Trying to lighten ya'll up.  Evidently the anger management classes didn't work for you.  Am I supposed to bow down to you because you fish a CC?  Hell, I fished one for a long time.  Get a life.

O.K. So we got Midnight Run in, the great Sam Roberts, Bodacious, Downtime. Anybody else??? Anybody heard from Xanadu???????? Sorry to get the thread deraliled, but when people Try to give advice they better know damn well what they are talking about with first hand experience and not seen it on ESPN with Povermo, Isaacs, andWejebe. By the way anybody out there that is a racist, Wejebe and I are from the same country or how about the same town. A little town on the Northern coast of Cuba called Sagua. Sagua La Grande is the river that runs down to it. You ever heard of Ernest Hemingway? But then again, of cours you have because you fish with 400 lb. dacron line and J hooks like he did or is it down to 130lb mono?? I can't remember. Keep killing these fish with your J hooks and won't have anymore kill tournaments. Anybody heard of Bay Pointe? Good night.

Wow. All I really can say is Wow. You really are a piece of work. You've name dropped Marcus Kennedy, Tommy and now Jose and, frankly, I would be willing to be you don't know any of those people and if you do, they don't like you. It's obvious that you are a drunken illiterate jackass. On this very thread you've been logged as trying to get a kid fired, leaving a kid in a car while you went to a casino and giving bad advice. Now, I see your readin n rightin aint so good, but Wow.

You came out and gave useless non-advice about boat handling to someone asking about wire for Bonitas. You've put yourself out as some conservationist outboard messiah yet you weighed in a freaking Barracuda today. Wow. And, here's the kicker. I am a gambler and I would love to bet you, but I know just from your manner here that you're not man enough to follow through or pay when you lose. And here you're talking about aggregate weight in the PBGFC tourney on the same thread where you accuse anyone with diesels of being anti environment. Are you planning on loading the weigh in with 65 chicken dolphin or catching a blue marlin?

Anyway, I'm sorry this thread got whacked out and I've given as good advice as I can. Maybe outboard king can give you something better. As far as circle hooks, tuna tubes and kites go, well you got me there. I wouldn't know any of it from a hole in the ground. Give me a couple moldcrafts and some store bought double hook rigs and I'm happy as a pig in slop.

xandu he says he nice ppl...who told him that? did i mention he tried getting me fired?

when i worked at daybreak he was telling me and some other employee a story about him catching a 50#+ king mackeral and it lost 15# pound because he caught him before sun light and he said he would have won the SKA...

i could catch a 60+ fish and leave it on the pier all day and still would not lose 15#

and him driving a vessel that out of the question...he would wreck and inboard diesel

the great.

wow, this has really turned into a thread of sorts

we catch a lot of wahoo, not wehoos but some pretty nice ones, every winter in the islands. we target them pretty much and we use fairly short cable leader on 50 or 80 lb gear. as Xanadu said wahoo fishing is not brain surgery. in reality its really mackerel fishing, only the macks can be much bigger. my thought is a longer leader, as in significantly longer than the wahoo, results in your jet head, islander, or any other common trolling plug that is able to slid up the leader, ending up well behind the hooked fish, stuffed up against the swivel, being pulled through the water at a pretty good rate. nice scenario for another wahoo to eat that bait and cut you off, it DOES happen. we tend to keep our cable leader while TARGETING wahoo no longer than about five feet so that it is at the tail or just behind the tail of the fish on his run. it prevents tail whipping and you don't have a plug 15 feet behind a running fish. above the swivel is 20 or so feet of wind on mono leader of either 300 or 400.

the original post that started this was a request looking for information about how to set up a leader and what works for various people. the initial posts where what the guy was looking for and then it went downhill.

if you don't have something informative, or at least constructive, why take the effort to post it, unless your goal is to start a tit for tat bs string

Pat thanks for stepping in here and setting the story straight. Hell maybe I will bring my little Jupiter down there to the Emerald Coast Classic so I can buy you a beer at the Capt. meeting. Thanks for all of the work you to on the Florida Fishing Report. And what I was attempting your buddy Xanadu that in a small boat when that wahoo makes that run at the boat I would rather not gun it straight forward and throw everybody out of the boat.

You know the funniest post on this thread is this one. Evidently, you didn't get that he was agreeing with me, offering additional information and talking about you.

OK let's get the story straight the fish weighed 40lbs.  When we threw it in the boat in about 2 minutes with  your buddy on the Spencer on the rod.  I hadn't kingfished in about 3 years.  We caught the fish at 9:30 in the morning 25 miles offshore.  Both fish bags were full of 30 lbers had to throw 2 little ones back just to make room for this one.  We had NO ice by 11:00 because somebody forgot to throw another 40lbs of ice on the boat at 5:00am  So we went snapper fishing the rest of the day showed up 2nd boat at the scales before they opened.  Drinking warm rum by this time.  Never put the fish on a hand scale while we were out there so figured he would have gone 50-55 since we could barely get him in the fish bag.  We had gone through 12 ribbonfish.  Oh, did I tell you about the 200lb bull shark your buddy spencer fought for an hour wasting time on 20lb test.  We really wish you would go play somewhere else, especially since you are so worried about you career pumping gas.
