I dont dive, but I sportfish in southern CA, and worked one summer as a galley wench on a party boat, long ago.  

Here’s a story I heard, but ya’ll know how fish stories are, so with that disclaimer:

On a long-range trip off southern Mexico, a group were playing poker in the galley, exhausted from hauling in big fish all morning.  It was hot as heck, so the porthole window above the table was open.  There were people still catching fish right outside the window along the deck rail.   

Fish called wahoo, basically larger crazier barracuda, were on a hot bite.   A fellow was jig fishing with a chrome lure, which a fast fish can be chasing, that you arent aware of, if you are reeling in real fast.  so this guy was reeling to beat the devil, and lifted his jig right up out of the water as it reached the boat.  The wahoo jumped out of the water after the jig and just sailed right thru the open galley window.  

The poker player that was placing a bet, didnt miss a beat, when he said, “Yeah, and I’ll raise you a wahoo!”

LOL!  I don't even care if it's true...it's funny as hell anyway!!



ETA - BTW, we called Wahoo's "Cobia's". Pretty sure it's the same fish, just different ocean.
