Yeah they would need a pretty big tank. But how cool would that be, then you could do stuff like this:

all those hours with a jig..... i didnt know i could jump in with something flashy and they come right to me..... i would have had my bag full in no time.....
Except for being large & toothy, they're nothing like sharks, and they're not good eating beyond 3-4'.
I'm not sure abt the flashy thing... may be them too, but Wahoo really go for bling bait.

Yep.
We lived in St Croix, just moved there, and went snorkling. I told my dad and brother (I was 10 at the time) that I saw something fast, long, and silver flash by me. They laughed and told me I was being a sissy-girl.
We were in about 12 feet of water when he showed himself. He would eyeball you, then sink, eyeball you, then sink. I will never, ever, get over that *&^% fish. My dad still swears that I "walked on water" when I swam back to shore. I'm nervous about swimming in the ocean, to this day.
BTW: My dad and brother now also have respect for barracudasWe found out later that the locals had even named him: "Charlie." He was a wise, enormous, very scary fish...
Yikes, I encountered a Portugeuse Man O War just a few years older than that and people laughed at me too until they heard the Lifeguards's booming voice ordering everyone out of the ocean. Teaches you respect for the ocean fast huh?
