One of heaviest wahoo ever recorded by the IGFA was caught by angler Gabrielle Knapp on March 1, 1996, while fishing off San Salvador in the Bahamas. The massive 153-pound, 8-ounce wahoo crushed a rigged ballyhoo that Knapp was trolling behind the NuCO2, captained by Chris Flewellen. The catch earned Knapp the women’s 50-pound-test-line-class world record and is one of seven wahoo records that have been caught by anglers fishing out of San Salvador.
