65" Wahoo, 86 Pounds 8/7/2022

Type: Ocean
Region: Eastern
Location: Baltimore Canyon, Atlantic

I caught this Wahoo around 9:30 am offshore in the Baltimore Canyon with New Release Sportfishing Charter out of Sunset Marina in West Ocean City MD!

It was a quick, but intense 20-minute fight. It was caught on a ballyhoo with a skirt.

  • Length: 65 inches
  • Weight: 86 pounds

The fish was weighed at the scales by staff at the Sunset Marina. The length was measured by the first mate.

John received a FishMaryland certificate for this catch. Congratulations!
