I thought tests done a while back concluded sails hit about 60mph and were the fastest, blacks def go like little rockets but wahoo and sails do seem faster to me.

Maybe going down hill.

first run of a big sail always seams faster than a blacks. cant mistake it. but id still rather catch blacks.... just love those little fellas.

well guys i'm going to give bill fish a go this year i get a real buzz of chaseing tuna and do it every year ...so after seeing that on foxtel the other nite i think its a go alright ..

andy
p.s mick you could have something with the spped increaseing on the down hill run ......lol

[bigal]

yeah rob is right on that one. sails are the fastest recorded fish in the world at 80kph. blacks are good for 60 odd. i remember that from walkers kay chronicles on austar they had a report on sail fish fishing of pannama or somewhere and they had a scientist segment that said all about fast fishes.
