Trailer is sold.

Forgot to mention everything is current on trailer and throwing in an extra set of rims and tires. The extra tires need to be replaced though....

Nice load of fish there. Too bad you guys didn't get anything trolling. C. Tam is a lucky guy on the banks.

Nice fish Brian. Looks like the ono's have arrived out west. I gotta get out there.

Congrats man, that's 2 good days of fishing right there. Getting the fish in the boat early is always good but yea, sometimes the rest of the day...

Very nice work. Wish I had the skills/time/space to work on my own boat. You're gonna be extra proud knowing you put in the hard work yourself.

Nice mahis Russ. It seems like 5"ers are the go to size for the mahis right now...

Sounds like a good day to me. Good going

Smiling Mu [IMG] I shoot um, really challenging. I've caught them fishing from shore. They hang around drop offs and sand pockets......

Nice

Sweet!

Instead of spending 25k+ on a new motor, leg, fuel hoses, transfer tanks, etc. I think you should just buy my boat. Lol.

So far I've tried it 3 times. Picked up one 4lbs. Pretty sure one time I was dragging the fricken thing in sand. Lol. Tried between 80-150ft....

That's a fricken nice mahi Shane. The lure works good.

Thanks for the info and report, especially the U bouy info. I've been wanting to dive there for a while. Gotta be holding mahi mahi not sharky...

My baby hawk is still for sale. Willing to trade for a BW outrage 19 or edgewater 17 or 18...

That's one nice bully. Where's the glass ball??

Nice marlin Russ. Solo catches like that always impress me. Someday I'll man up and get out there for a solo run...

Adding 2 rods to the set.

Dammit erase button??

Yea guys, that's one mean load of otaru. Had space for one more in the bottom left corner of the pic though. Nah j/k. Good going on the catch.

Nice one. Solo?

Congrats on your first marlin. It must have been a real rush to get it.

Damn nice ahis on Tuesday and Thursday following what must have been a long and discouraging Sunday. Nice work.

I haven't been out on my boat since ahi fever. Had a few half day white wash trips on the jetski and slayed some otarus on a friends boat since...

Nice fish!!

What question got dickhole responses? I missed it.

Congrats, Nick. Nice way to bounce back from a bad trip.

Right on man, nice ahis.

I've been using it for about a year and I like it. Picked it up from west marine and got the warranty. For some reason mine crapped out after 8...

That's a lot of ono sashimi. Good job.

Nice ono Ken. Looks like you've really been lucky with the archer bars this year.

Man, I wish I was batting fish at 9 years old. That is one lucky kid...

Whoa, that's how to remove a monkey properly. Congrats on your ahi!!

Unreal catch guys. Great day.

Right on Ken and crew, that's a nice ahi. Those archer bars are deadly.

Wow, must have been super fun. Next time going get um. Make sure you tire the marlin out before you try land um...

Looks like enough for some good poke. I hear barracuda is good grinds too, but I never tried it.

200!!! 200!!! Hell yea, nice fricken fish guys.

Gotta love the family time. Nice ono's are a bonus.

Congrats on your first ahi of the year, and an epic weekend.

Good size mahi Jimmy. Congrats.

Eh Spencer, good bunch of fish you managed to pick up. Ahi are around, I'm sure you'll get yours soon...

Right on Pat, one more for the year. How many is that now, I lost count already! Keep it up.

Those are some mean action shots. Also, means you had action so congrats.

Fatty otarus man, right on. Poor little mahis always get hooked in the eye, gotta be the gap of the hook...

Yup, that's fishing. Everyday is different out there. At least your crew enjoyed the ride...

Hey Russ, at least you gave it a shot. Picked up some poke and covered some of your gas too. Not bad at all...

Hey Paul, my 1 year old doesn't slow me down too much. I think it's the 3 at once thing that got you. Lol. I wasn't exactly sure how I wanted to...

Thanks Joey, didn't get to fish at R. The gas was already running low... Hey Russell, trying not to run the boat much till I get the transom...

Eh Russ, nice catch. Last 2 trips Shane's pics look like one aku boat. Lol..

Way to go Spencer. That's an ono magnet kinda day. Keep slayin um, summer bite is just starting.

Very nice....

Good to get some fish after waiting so long for days off to match up. Only 2 rods? With gas at around $5/gal I wish I could run 12 lines...

Thanks Ken!!

Hey Walter. 200 spots in 20 days, that's nuts... I don't think I turned in my application in time. How can I find out for sure?? Do I have to...

Those armstong brackets look to be very well designed. If I had the funds I would definetly take a serious look. From what I can see the expense...

Right on Spencer. That's a fat ono. Living up to your "ono magnet" reputation....

Thanks for the "fever" Pat. I think I might have to leave the mahis alone next time out and chase the dream for a bit.

Congrats on another bunch of mahis and on "breaking in" another newbee. Wendell is one lucky guy to be able to learn from the best rumblers...

Looks like those archer bars were working well. Nice ono's. Congrats on getting some fish on Kens arima.

Wow, bananas on board and still catching fish... I probably would have thrown um all overboard.(the bananas, not the crew). Congrats on the nice...

I'll take a baby mahi over a whitewash anyday...

Congrats on the mixed bag. It seems like there's some fish out there, but scattered.

That's a good way to spend a holiday. Spicy uku is winner.

Hey guys, not trying to thread jack but was wondering if a bracket or extension is still an option on a boat without a flush deck. Specifically,...

I run 3 spans of 300lb fishmate leader on my 7's and 9's. Single hooks 11/0 or 12/0. Some 9's have double hooks 11/0 and 10/0. Run line saver...

Right on Joe, nice mahis.

Nice catch Bob, especially that fat ono.

Nice fish Russ, all on the same lure too.

Right on Pat and Nerlie, nice catch. I think you found the right capt/crew combination Pat. Keep it up...

6 banger... Mean. Looks like the ono's are here.

Nice haul Nick. Chasing the dream is what it's all about...

Right on Shane. Looks like your brother had a lot of action. He's gonna sleep good tonight...

Nice stripey!

Hey Spencer, congrats on your first ono of the year and first ever kawakawa. With all the fish you got last year I'm surprised you never got a...

Right on, nice catch. Too bad you got da jinx action. Nah nah. Jus kidding.

Just for comparison: [IMG] My baby hawk... The ride is good for the size, like the currentline. Like Shanus said, same basic hull just built up...

Good going Pat. A nice bonus on top of the quality time.

Nice catch. I like taking my dad out fishing too. Sometimes we catch sometimes we don't, but always enjoying the time on the water.

Nice. Fresh sash for spring break. No ono's? J/k

Glad to see you picked up a few mahis in the windy conditions Russ. When you gotta go, you gotta go. My boat has been sitting patiently waiting...

Thanks for the report. Sounds like a good mix of action and almost action. And, you got a few for the table too...

Congrats on some nice fish. You guys went charge um in a 12 footer??

Kekoa, It really sucked, but no can help. Just going keep trying... Eh Chuck, Funny thing is I do mushroom my ends, just did a half-ass job...

What about this one?? http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/boa/2256813924.html

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/big/boa/2255418444.html

Good going Russ. Would have been nice to have landed those other 2 mahis, but still a nice catch.

Caught some grinds, right on... I wonder what ate that aku?? Flipper?, jaws?

Good going. That has to be one of the nicer looking fish in the ocean...

Right on Pat. Are these guys still hanging outside the pinnacle?

3 more nice stripeys. Congrats. Those are some sweet lures also...

Wow, chasing that gaff was nuts... Main thing you got um. 2 nice family size shibis too.

Another nice one Pat. Thanks for the post.

I don't know how to read the prices, but I'm gonna try to get some mahi tomorrow if it's good.

No bolos... Those suckas are out there somewhere. Nice mahi though.

Congrats on your awesome start to the year! Nice catch.

No sign of it last week

Eh turbo, good thing you never mention what kine poles and reels you running or you would have to find out who "invented" those too... Gotta give...

Sounds like you guys got bum rushed by the pack. Good job getting 2 in the boat. Hope to get my first nairagi this year...

Congrats on your return to fishing/catching... Your boat is looking more and more pimp every time you post pics.

Congrats on your first marlin of the year, Nick. Looking forward to a lot more reports and vids from you guys...

Good work Pat. Those other strikes will stick next time...

That is a serious set-up. What needs to be cleared when you get a strike? Are the dredges and spreader bars below the surface??

I was supposed to go catch some cracks yesterday, but last week my truck got some dirty cracks so I couldn't tow my cracker. [IMG]

Thanks for the report. One mahi is better than no mahi. Couldn't live bait the kaku??

Congrats Paul and family! You documented the whole arrival nicely. Keep that camera charged up, you are gonna be burning through those memory...

Nice going on the fish. Glad you could get something in the box in less than ideal conditions.

Glass ball broken... Damn. That sucks! At least got the mahi.

Pat, nice catch and pics! Starting the new year like you ended the last, on the fish... Right on!

Nice marlin. Congrats!!

That's a nice sized stickfish... Bugga must've been hungry to hit Brian's lure then yours.

Damn, that's an awesome catch. Right on guys.

Nice ahi, Micah boy! You chose an awesome boat to crew for.

Hey Grander, went out west yesterday too. Straight out 22 miles, down to CO, in to Kaena, back out to Romeo, back in to the 40, across to maile,...

Congrats on your 2 ahi day Nick. How big? Those are some nice lure heads, where can I pick some up, or do you sell?

Hey Scott, at least you had some action and one screamer. Gotta knock some salt off the clickers once in a while.

Love fried aweoweo. I spear the smaller inshore ones. The deep water ones get to over 10 lbs.

Nice shibis. Hope they stick around for a while longer. I just picked up a new jigging rod I want to test out.

One nice ahi in the boat for Christmas. I'd be happy with that gift. Good going Pat. Too bad about the first one that got away.

I've just started jigging around bouys and have caught a shibi with the diamond jig. I have no clue about what depth to jig, I just let out half...

Birthday pupu table: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]

Nice catch Capt. Clay!

Nice one, congrats.

Still learning so much from you guys. Upon closer inspection, and according to the link Scott posted I think it was a yellow guy. Now it's just a...

Thanks guys. Yeah captdon, I think everyone caught theirs when the weather was nicer. I tried too, but only managed some mahis. Hey Alan, is it...

So, around 3-4 days max on ice then? Anything longer zacuum seal and freeze?

Congrats guys! So that's how da REAL fishermen do it???? I guess I gotta keep on trying.... I still faking like I can.

Right on man, no whitewash. Cool looking wings on that lure.

Right on man!! Thanks for posting the story. Those memories are priceless...

What's a little rain and wind when you're having fun?? I bet the guy/girl who took the pic wishes they were out there in your boat...

Nice one...

Back safe with fish in the boat. That's how it's done... Good job.

Congrats Pat!! Haven't seen one of those posted in a while. Thanks for the inspiration. Still get chance...

Those are some big buggahs. Good going and those are some nice lures also. Does Ken sell them?

Right on Russ, lucky no mo cig. That's a good size one. I hit MM that morning and only managed 2 10lb aku. Around 3pm there was a massive bait...

Yeah, the awa awa threw you guys off eh?? We actually picked it up in the bay on the way in just fooling around. Biggest one I ever seen. As...

Sounds like you got a good mixed bag even while trying to avoid traffic out there. Good job.

Wow, looks like another fun trip...

Nice catch! Those shibis and mahis got me all J. Heading out Kaneohe side saturday looking for any action trolling, baiting, and diving if no...

Thanks, those are the coordinates I gave my friend, but he couldn't find the bouy. Could be the swing or a new location after the redeploy.

Thanks for the report. I guess the Westside is still slow... At least you got out on the water.

Nice size mahis and ono.

Congrats on your marlin. Not much action out there right now I hear. How about a pic of the lure, description sounds nuts.

Wow, it is really really slow out there. Thanks for the report Nick. Crazy thing is that every day is different out there and you won't know...

Nice fish Pat. Nice managable size and good eats.

Congrats on the new boat and the big first ono.

Every day out in the ocean is different. Next time out you might have some nice fish by 8am and your wife might be napping by 10am. You just never...

Got this guy out at R bouy a looong time ago. I would hit the barge, R, and V bouys on the west. [IMG]

That's a hefty ono, right on.

Congrats on your first, Ryan. That area has been full of life lately...

Thanks Pat, making the most of my week off from work. Yup, main thing is have fun and come home safe. Catching just makes it more fun....

Thanks Kekoa, I gotta look for that area one day. Good luck on your labor day fishing trip.

Hey Kekoa, sorry to hear about your slow day. I went out Tuesday too and managed just a few rats. Today had a bit more bird action, but was all...

Good job on your first ono. Must have been super stoked.

Thanks for the write up and inspiration, Walt. Heading out tomorrow, hope we get lucky and find some fish.

Dude, that is a mean story and monster fish. I think it ate the 150lber you were looking for... Congrats.

Ho, fatties. Nice. Water looks little buss behind you...

Nice kau kau spread you got. Hope the action lasts till next week, I'm taking a few days off to go out and fish....

Thanks for the east side report. Good to know there are fish out that way. Hope everyone gets in on the action..

Holy crap, that is a big sucka. Your dad showed um who's boss though... Nice

Eh Josh, Nice size marlin. It seems like Waianae is holding a lot of them right now. Good job on the akus too...

Right on Pupule. Thanks for the info and story. Good to hear the birds are still around, so the fish must be too. Nice size marlin you got...

Congrats on another successful trip, Ryan. 1st time trollers always bring me luck. Nice boat you got there too.

Man, that's how to go get um. No can beat experience.... Awesome.

Congrats to you and crew, Garrett. Looks like those marlins are still lurking. Too bad about the pulled hooks, next time going stuck um.

Boiling water and no like bite? Wow. Does that happen often or what? Someone told me they no bite when they spawn. I like the video commentary,...

Those things are tough as hell. 2 monsters you got there, gotta check for cig.

Thanks.. The fever is still raging, but catches like this keep me positive my day will come. I had to keep my first one, right? Can't let um...

Live bait is key.... Nice job bringing the guy up with a broken rod.

Eh adobo, we got it around 10:30 about 2 miles outside of R bouy.

Congrats on another nice ahi. That's how to bounce right back and get after um.

Hard luck on the marlin and other misses Russ. With all the recent action, I bet you had high hopes. Next time you going kill um for sure. Sucks...

Long journey, but well worth it in the end looks like. Nice bull and ahi. I going look for the 25+ boats tomorrow (Friday). Should be up to 40 by...

Nice catch, Ryan. Aku bone and sashimi. All good....

Congrats on your first marlin and the bonus otarus. Thanks for the report.

Yea you.. Another cool vid and nice fish.

That is a pimp ass ride....

Nice ono on your first run. Cool looking boat too, how'd she handle?

Right on Rexy and Jus! Fricken mean... Mean pics too.

Thanks for the report Bob. Looks like ono kine grinds. Good to catch and eat something different once in a while...

Eh Ono magnet, that is unreal. You are my hero! It would make my year to catch what you got in your last 2 trips. I'm J....

Nice fish and pic.

Good deeds = good luck. You must have had a good workout running back and forth on deck. Right on pupule. Nice marlin.

Wow, another awesome catch. Ono magnet! Double sailfish too, mean...

I can see what Bryan is trying to get at. He cares about the resource and that's why he got so pissed. Maybe he just chose the wrong species... If...

Good job Spencer. Looks like you are still the Ono magnet, even on different boats.

Alright Russ, no whitewash. Now you gotta watch Nicks video so you can filet um in under a minute.

Checked the board to see what was biting and now I'm looking for an irrate captain with a hot daughter and a 200lb tuna. Baaaaa Baaaaa

Eh GMAN, I have an 18ft baby hawk. I usually stay within 15 miles or so, but I've gone out 20+ on nice days. I know my boat can handle, but still...

Nice catch Nick. Any kind of action is always good and makes for good video. Kekoa and Russ, good luck on Wednesday. I was supposed to go on...

Right on Brian. Nice mahi and Ono there, good kine grinds!

The sash was excellent! Fried and fish taco's were good too.

Thanks Nick, it's by far my best catch so far... Yea Chase, my dad has been fishing with me steady since he retired last month. I think he was...

I agree, that is one mean pic. Nice catch too..

Thanks, finally got lucky Damn, I didn't know the kaku was in the pic! Kinda like how I didn't know it was on the line till it started...

Right on Jimmy, that is a monster ahi. Must've been surprised when that sucka when hit. Good for you and your wife, congrats!

Thanks for the report and pics. Too bad about the ahi, next time get um. Still got the mahi and looks like a nice size Ono too.

Good going Pat. Must be nice to have 2 ono's in the boat by 6. That's a nice pic too. I'm beginning to think a mainland visitor on board is...

Thanks for the info Pat. I think I might have a few more ballyhoo to rig and try next time out.

Right on Kekoa, looks like you put a lot of time and sweat into the cap. Came out mean.... The boat looks ready for some action now.

Hey Pat, congrats on your ahi catch. Still hoping I can get one. Hey, I got a question for you. How fast do you drag your skirted ballyhoo? My dad...

That's a fish story to remember. Those fricken fish must've been in cahoots. Suckin marlin ahh. Buss your swivel and free his friend, mean....

500lbs solo mission, mean. Your arms must be all buss. Awesome catch.

Wow! 21 pieces, Blackjack! Nice haul guys. You guys really cover some ground.

Thanks for making that journey and posting the report. Good going on the kau kau fish.

Right on Russ. Looks like a successful trip to me. 3 fish in the boat would be a record for me. I still can't seem to find the fish.

That's a fun day on the water for sure. Gotta run the 100spf sun block when no mo the Bimini cause the fricken sun is brutal.

Right on guys! I guess the fish are around, just gotta work um hard or be in the right spots.

Wow. You catch so much you buss your hook. Right on man. Stick another hook on that sucker and go get your ahi.

Thanks for the west side update. Sounds like another long boat ride with little action. Hope the fishing starts getting better, but the only way...

Hey Russ. I was out there Thursday too. Took my dad and sister out for some family trolling. I launched around 6 and ran the Ono run down to...

I can't believe people actually call to lowball him.

Candace M. is a surratt from wahiawa. Captain is a friend of my dad.

Awesome job Pat and crew at the fever...

That's a nice size bonus ahi!

Right on AJ. Nice pic of the ahi on the deck. Looks like a clean set up you got there. Seems like the bite is real good out east. I wonder how...

Good going on your first of the year. Must have been your first with your crew puking and reeling at the same time too.

Damn nice fish! Too bad I gotta work tomorrow....

I guess the Westside is still slow.... Congrats in advance on your baby boy. My daughter is 6 months old now and she lets me go fishing whenever I...

Dude, you are like an ono magnet!

No bites today out on a friends boat. 25 mi. out and only saw bunches of small kine rats around. Couldn't even get those little bastards. Worked...

Right on Chase, another nice one. Hard luck on the 2nd one though. I got no advice to give since I haven't hooked one yet. All I know is what I...

Got mine from J and E fishing supply. Kalihi.

So sea serpent it is. Hopefully the name will stick. Walt, coconut tree??? Now that is a catch you will never forget. Hope you got some nice pics!...

That thing is a beast....

Congrats on your first ahi on your boat. Das a nice one too.

Crazy whales! I guess the bugga was camera shy so he called for back up.... At least got some Ono's.

Hey Bam, was that you that left the harbor at the same time as us? If so, you got a nice boat. Like a saltwater setup?

No worries, I goin keep trying. That's for sure. Hey Kekoa, hooking a rubber glove takes some skills. I bet I could take 1000 passes on it and...

Nice one. So the ahis are biting all over and in the blind? Pretty soon I get chance then. Just gotta be biting everything and swimming into the...

Nice work on the onos. Gonna try my luck on the ledge tomorrow for a late run. Hope to get out of the harbor before 10.

Yup yup, those predators gotta eat too.... Too bad you can't train um to leave the lures alone. Bumbai they learn...

Seems like the ahi's are steadily coming up now. Good going! Hopefully I'll get mine soon....

Sold!!

That's a awesome report. Congrats on the monster ahi.

Hard luck man, you'll get um next time. At least got the stories...

Das one big boy! Congrats!

Are you gonna put wings on um? Someone told me if the head has eyes to cover the eyes on the skirt with wings or buy skirts without eyes.

That's one nice Ono. Good job. Maybe I can get one this coming weekend.

Nice one! Three pronging on deck probably not a good idea though. Time to get a bat...

Man, sounds like you guys did just fine out there. Maybe asking the other guy to come along brought you some good luck. Congrats on your catch!!

Late start, but still a long day yea? The late Ono was a well earned reward, sounds like you worked the area pretty good. Good to hear you got...

That's a nice reward for a long run outside. Congrats!!

Hey, how did you know about the ice? Every time like dat. I hate to waste um every trip, but no can help. Brought out the 6ft fishbag today, but...

Thanks for the responses, I was hoping I could just use the fairing and maybe a 3 in. Cutting board spacer or something to fill the gap. Anyway, I...

Nice haul! Sounds like it was a long busy day. So how was the conditions out there?

Thanks for the report.

Nice spread...

Hey guys, had a great day on the water thanks to all the helpful advice. Launched at 7 without any problems, I just had my dad pull the boat off...

Thanks for the helpful tips and reassurances. I'll be heading down there early so I can take my time setting up and double checking everything....

Aww yeaaa.... That's what I like see on my boat too. Fish and smiles...

Nice work getting those visitors some fresh fish. Dude must have felt like crap though....

Russ, took the boat out a week and a half ago just to run it. Hooked a left out of sand island and ran the inside cause it was blowing. Picked up...

Alright Russ, good to hear you got out on the water and got some fish. I might give it a try later this week. Hope the winds and fish cooperate.

Thanks for the input everyone. I'm leaning toward ACR now since there is a local battery replacement center. Now I just gotta decide with Integral...

Right on, nice mahis and a great time for your nephew I'm sure.

Man, that is some messed up shiiit... Crackheads suck.

Nice mixed bag... So is T gone or was just to rough to find? How far is MM from HK?

Been looking at iboats, cabelas, sportsmans guide, etc., but shipping is kinda high. Anyone know of a local place that carries covers around $100?...

Thanks everyone! Hey muns, it measures 19ft from the tip of the sponson to the transom, but everyone calls this boat an 18. It has a 90hp 4 stroke...

2" is good with 1/4" stainless bolts.

Nice catch! That 4 banger must have been fun!!!

Which way is cheaper? The group buy or though the rep? I'm interested in the HD one too.

Nice size one. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Actually Jensen, A good friend of mine went to check out that 17 out in waianae and said really good things about it. The floor and transom are...

Calm water and lots of fish. That's a good way to start your year.

Congrats to your cuz on the new boat. Is that the one with the 150hp ocean pro? I never went to take a look at that one. The price was good...

Nice size one!

4. Junk motor 5. Rotten transom 6. Termites 7. Wrong color 8. Puka in bimini.....

Working today, but.... Boat 1. Wrong island Boat 2. Got someone checking it out Boat 3. Too big for my parking situation

I was thinking the same thing when I saw it. Too bad wrong island.

I couldn't agree more. Maybe a 16-18 with a molded in sponson, turn key with trailer and motor for under 25k. That would be real nice. I'm sure...

Actually I think it has a 90hp Johnson bombardier...

Too narrow? Does this mean tippy when you drift?

Called already trying to set up somethng. Another turn key killer.

Called 25 min. after posted. Guy called 2 min before me. Guy had 1k cash in his pocket to hold boat. Pau story...

Nice size bull...

All three of the boats mentioned would be worth a look. If I had the space I would be all over that islander....

No U bouy. That sucks. No fish. That sucks more....

I know guys can make CC's work for them and have no problems. I have seen a lot out at the bouys. I guess whatever gets you out on the water and...

Hey Russ, At least you got some fish and got back safe. Better than being stuck at work like me..

Thanks for the advice guys, Russ, I will do that check to every boat from now on. Mark, you are right about that force motor (junk) that's...

That's one serious fishing machine!! Congrats and can't wait to hear the reviews.

Checked it out today and I think I'm going to pass on it. It would make a good first boat, but it needs a lot of work. Spending the money to fix...

Good for you Jimmie. I hear those hulls ride real nice. Congrats!!

Add on Chines? I didn't know there was such a thing. Def going to take a look, just to learn more. A 4 stroke would be a must for me....

Just wanted to add that the entry looks really deep and the bottom of the hull has a destinctive look that I don't recognize... Owner say it rides...

Nice pics! I gotta remember to bring my camera on the boat next time. Love the action shots.....

Those are some nice sized akus! Gotta brine those opelus so you can bait um next time...

Those are some awesome pics! I've never seen anyone catch some of those fish with a rod and reel.

Hey Donald, yea it is. My mother in law is from Okinawa and I've been there to meet the family.

Thanks guys. Hey Russ, we got the fish out of bird piles between U and MM.

Great catch!! Nothing better than fishing with friends. Especially when the fish cooperate....

Hope the problem isn't major. At least you could Launch after and make a day of it.

Nice fish and glad you got home safe! The weather sure can get ugly in a hurry. Good to know that your boat can handle if it has to....

Thanks Pat, Happy New Year. Will do K, thanks..

Thanks Russ, I got really excited till I read that was just for the hull. Actually that package looks like a deal. Too bad you have to add on...

I really like the specs of the 17 outrage II (96-99) hull, but i think it would be even harder to find... The arima sea pacer 17 looks like it...

That is a cool looking fish. I'd eat it.

Thanks for the replies. RIA, did you buy your whaler for diving and then decide to try trolling? I used to hunt/dive on molokai once a year or so...

Is the 16 similar to a aliikai? Looks like a pounding hull. Must be solid though. Are the smaller size 16-19 ft arimas self bailing too?

Store bought works for me.... Use a rubber band to connect your lead = more action.

Nice catch! Solo mission?

Nice sashimi!! Great, now he REALLY won't sell the boat. Nah, jus kidding....

Good size mahis! What size/type hooks are those? Where do you get the heat shrink? Thanks...

Nice catch!!!

Nice catch and a happy boss.... Priceless

Nice boats! Must have been hard to part with each one after you put the work in to make it yours. I guess it's easier knowing that you're moving...

Wish I could afford a new one. Probably run 40k plus with twins and freight to Oahu...

I think the makau is 23ft. Which is way the big to fit at my house. I'd check out a force 18, but hard to find one for sale...

Lucky guy, keep a cover on it just in case...

Yea it was an orange one in Kaneohe with an aluminum trailer. I had cash and the guy didn't even bother to tell me he had an offer. I was the...

New to this site,but I've been searching for a 17-18 ft boat too. Checked out a currentline on craigslist 2 weeks ago 2stroke average shape and...
