The origin of the fish’s name, Wahoo, is thought to have come from the common spelling of the Hawaiian word “Oahu,” which also means “gathering place” when referring to Hawaii’s third-largest island.

Wahoo can be identified by their elongated body, similar to a barracuda, sporting blue stripes on their back and sides with razor-sharp teeth and exceptional speed.
