John of OH is on fire!  Looks like he shot a 62kg Wahoo yesterday and a 110kg dog tooth today ... 
Have a look on FB for a pic of the Wahoo - it is a beast!  (should be a pic in the Ocean Hunter FB page I think)

No underwater footage here (but I think John may have had a camera with him??) but it shows the doggie being landed and weighed.
