Winged elm, large mackerel or exuberant cry (5)

I believe the answer is:

wahoo

(Other definitions for wahoo that I've seen before include "Ornamental shrub" , "Large fish related to the mackerel" , "swimmer" , "in America, yeah baby!" , "Burning bush" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
