The Wahoo(or Ono) is among the most-prized game fishes. This fish is incredibly beautiful with iridescent, grayest-blue vertical stripes running along its body. It can also reach an amazing size, reaching up to 180 pounds and 8 feet in length. Most importantly, it is known for its unbelievable speed. It is considered one of the ocean’s fastest swimmers, with recorded speeds of up to 60mph! They also have razor sharp teeth used to slice up prey into bite size pieces. This painting from my ‘Black and White’ series portrays a hooked wahoo as it appears just beneath the surface of the ocean.
