Default Wahoo question?

I am in the beginning/learning stages of chasing the monster wahoo. Yesterday, I hooked up with a large wahoo while trolling with a large purple Yozuri Bonito around the Mars and Cajun Express oil rigs. This reel screamed for a short while off the stern and then my line went slack and then all the sudden about 90 degrees off my port side this fish began thrashing and splashing as if it was chasing baitfish or it was mad. Is this something that happens sometimes after a hook up and miss with larger wahoo? Maybe this is when it actually lost the hook or just dropped the lure? This was confusing for me at the time because I did not think the fish I had hooked should be right there off my port side.
