Wahoo (Acanthocybium solandri) is a large predatory fish from the mackerel family, reaching up to 176 lb (80 kg). They live in open ocean waters but often stay close to coasts, reefs, and continental shelves. They hunt fish and squid, either alone or in small groups, and are known for striking from below with sudden bursts of speed about 50 mph (80 km/h). They’re often spotted near tuna schools and are most active around sunrise and sunset, though they’ll still bite at night — just a little more slowly.
