March 3, 2008, Grand Bahama Island, The Bahamas: A broken wrist and a broken lower shaft unit could not prevent Billy Thomas from accumulating enough points to win the 2007-2008 Bahamas Wahoo Championship. This is the second time that Billy and his Savanna Lynn team have won the overall title for the Wahoo Championship, the first back in 03-04.
The top seven heaviest wahoo weighed in by Savanna Lynn weighed 397.0 and outscored second place Svengali, owned by Marshall Leeds, by 50.5 points, about one good wahoo on the docks.
Cloud Nine, owned by Douglas Dunlap, was only 13 points behind in third place. Two boats made a last minute rush for the title with Timeless earning fourth and Fishin A Loan fifth, edging out last year’s champions, Zephyros, by a mere point.
Savanna Lynn’s big dog helped them win Bahamas Wahoo Challenge, as well.
Thomas and his team also came up out on top at the Bahamas Wahoo Challenge, which finished its series at Bimini the last weekend of February. There, Thomas had top fish with an 80-plus pounder.
