Heard this wild story about guys who hooked a monster wahoo offshore. Right as they're bringing it up, a shark chomps the entire body - they only landed the massive head! Thinking they were smart, they kept the head as proof of their trophy. But when the warden saw it at the dock? Citation. The head alone was under legal length, even though the whole fish was clearly huge. Now I never clean anything on the water. That cooler space isn't worth risking a ticket when you can't prove your fish was legal size. Even if your state allows cleaning at sea, you’ll want the head and tail for proof. Ever had a close call with a game warden over something like this? #fishing #gamewarden #wahoo #saltwater #fishinglaw #fishingregulations
