When you talk about trolling speed and bigger fish, you are talking about speeds above 14 knots. Even in areas where you find big wahoo, it is pretty much a bet that the first fish you catch will be smaller. The bigger fish will come later in the bite, as you make multiple passes in a productive area. The big wahoo tend to hold deeper in the water column and come up as you pass over a few times.

A few key big fish principles you want to really pay attention to are where to go, how to drive the edge and how to deal with big fish. By listening to what Rick has to say, you can distill down his concepts into practices you can apply. Your mental approach will be the difference maker.

Rick says the majority of his bigger wahoo come on his down lines, the wire lines, the deeper baits. On those bites where larger fish eat, the angler needs to be focused on what the fish is doing. They have a tendency to run right at the boat. This is where many fish get lost.

Another of the principles that Rick stresses centers around boat driving during hookup. How you approach a hooked fish, as it comes up to the boat, is going to greatly depend on where you are fishing and how bad the sharks are. In areas where the sharks are bad, you will want to turn offshore and get into deeper water.

You will also hear an interesting conversation on the staggering of lures in the spread and how to prevent tangling. By leaving the spread out while you boat a fish, you will find that many big fish bites come as you throttle back up and the lures start rising in the water column. All of these fishing tips are so important.
