Da Bread Fish

S Tokunaga Store Taape Tournament sounds fun where do you catch them from shore Just saying. I have only caught 3 from shore.Big Island has tournaments to eat and eradicate and win prizes.Acually dont know if there is still an actual tournament I know they have from previous years.

Nice landing of the Ahi congrats.

If you ever fish the Puna coast crabs will work for Mu me and my friends seen um can land though?

Cool article Im here now in florida from Hawaii Me and my dad will have to try live shimp we been catching snappers ladyfish sheepshead on dead shimp.

nice catches.

nice cathes,

We caught 3 Tiger Trevalles or Pig papios or what some describe as Butaguchis.We also caught a small GT.I made a Bagle sandwich out of one of the stripers it was delicious.

Thanks for the info .I know you all have the same Quenn snappers like Hawaii one of the only two the other being Iron Jaw snapper that we havent caught on a force master 900.We only tried like twice for queens 70fathoms start areas one time we tried I attached a pill bottle withe a couple drill...

Just curious.

Is Destin offshore or intercoastal or Gulf.We booked a halfday in Indian River county intercoastal pilchard fishing with captain Kevin with FV Fisheye for 350-450 $ to try for snook and tarpon. We were not dissapointed.I would like to try offshore out of Stewart because thats where the...

True.

The forked tail.

We went fishing in the bay the other week only toau nibbles caught 5 fried them for 25 minutes just to be safe made the tarter called it good.This post was started just because just about every 30 to 40 fathom pinnicle koa and shallower pathetic with taape and toau.We have only caught a few...

Seabolds Snapper Kalekale to about 3 pounds. Me and my Father caught this and another and an Uku on one fell swoop on our friends custom rig.

Striped marlin on the bird in November a few years back. It was the pretty scarry leadering all the bird leader. My dad published in HFN Blue Marlin and our friend Don here thought so too I thought initially Striped Marlin.Notice the stripes on it dead.

nice fish

nice fish.

Thanks for the info I know Amberjacks are readily prevalent species world wide. We even caught a few trolling in 40 to 50 fathom water so maybe our state records are more legit. I read several online articles saying the West Coast of North American Yellowtail are the biggest. Our state record...

Igfa 2019 says 92.lbs off Guadalupe IS Mexico.I always thought west Coast North American sub species were the biggest.Japan got 1 at 109 New zealand got 2 at 114.Almaco Jacks for instance in the igfa book are readily mistacken for for Amberjacks in my opionion. Florida state record is at 35lbs.

First cut a 3"by3" cube,Then get 2 pieces of saran wrap then use a cookery mallet or whatevers comparable to gentle flatten out.Lastly douse olive oil balsamic vinagar,pepperconis,and salt and pepper and a slice of squeezed lime for taste.

Nice fish 277lb is the biggest ever caught in the Hawaiian islands.

Nice Almi the ones are friend brought were complete schoolies compared to that,

Thats cool.On Oahu there is the second biggest sub species of yellowtail that being Japanese.The west coast of North America Yellowtail are the biggest and the New Zealand yellowtail are the smallest.They raise Gulf of Mexico Almacos out of Kona. A lot of them have escaped the pens.The Japanese...

Just curious.

Get well soon.I had staff once nothing was working until they gave me mupirocin 2% key was to change the bandage and dressing at least three times a day so that bacteria is constantly getting sucked out of the wound and on to the bandages.Heals a lot faster that way.Good natural soaps like...

When it’s slow offshore you can always rely on bottom fishing to at least catch something.Unfortunatly that something over 50 % of the time is the invasive snapper species of Taape and Toau and occasionally a Roi when your trying to catch desirable fish like a yellow spot Papio.So what we do is...

The Garmin black and white hand held units are pretty nice we got one as a backup it has a marking above water feature no below feature I think there in the 250$-300 range.

Nice one we got one yesterday on a chrome missed the other on a Stan Ho swimmer.First time we went in like three months because of house upkeep and trailer work ect.

Have fun.

Circle hooks will work good for bottom dwellers that have big mouths.I would stick to small open gap hooks to target everything though. I think you will be more successfull on fish you will want to catch like nabeta that have small mouths.I use circle hooks exclusively for deep dropping since...

40 lb test damashi 1' branch work good.They are easy enough to make to.Its good to have them a little bit heavier just in case you hook up to an Uku papio ect.It really does not effect the bite that much ether .Those worms are too big 1 to 2 inch will work better.I know worms work but we do...

Way to go on getting your boat bloody with Shibi.Getting the red meat is always good. It also looks like you guys worked hard to me.Congrats on the epic catch.

More than any place in the US Hawaii knows how to prepare any type of fish to make it taste good.The Marlin likely got bought by someone that turned it into Marlin Jerky which is sold commercially over here.People also make it into Poke sold at grocery stores here.Smoked Marlin is also a popular...

Good going on you and your crews catch, nice result.Especially for this time of year.Congrats.

Good going on catching on the cargo net.We found a nice one the other week straight outside.All it had was too many hagi to count and some kamanu we did manage to catch one kamanu.Would rather have caught Mahi and ono like you guys.Oh well.We did manage to catch a Mahi and a shibi trolling in...

You got the right concepts.All the things you listed apply here as they do in Florida we dont have much weeds in current lines here though sometimes you will find some nice cargo nets and logs.Stay at least 30 yards off the current line just to make sure you dont foul your prop in any loose...

If you want to catch Ono shallow water say 40 fathoms is prime time usually from april thru july. You will ocasionally catch all other species there too,although the deep blue is much more productive imo.Right now has been slow it might pick up though with a fall run of good size mahis and...

Cut up Mahi into 2" pieces. Peel fresh garlic and ginger to equal amounts then put in food processer. put 1/8 cup amount of olive oil, salt, pepper,dill,and curry powder in the food processer. Mince it all up till evenly blended. Put mahi and sauce into zip lock bag,rub sauce around till it...

Its Garys fishery that he needs to worry about.Salmon, steelhead and albacore are all red list fish.As far as mexicos mahi goes I here from friends that have fished there before several times that they catch plenty.I don't know maybe they are just good fisherman.Good going Mike on the Mahis...

Cherry pit 2.Never fished with them but heard good things from others about them.I think they let you keep a little fish too.

Nice Mahi and video.Good Job.

Nice Ahi. One time we had an ahi give us trouble at leader using the orange gloves with the rubber line grips.Then are friend turned us on to goatskin gloves from ace hardware way better for gripping and leadering big fish compared to other gloves.

Thanks for the report.Only a couple of bouys have been working good out of Hilo. Hopefully the big swarms of aku will show up soon so all of them will work good, then all the boats will spread out which will be a good thing.

Entered.

I fish straight out of the box,whether its an Avet, Shimano, Penn ect.As long as I wash and clean them good exteriorly after each use I have noticed I can fish them for several years without any problems.At the first sign of malfunction is when I like to do an overhaul. Overhauling your reel out...

If you are using a good drag scale with a tell tale ring and are using it according to directions it should dial you into desired strike and full lb numbers when the drag knob is properly adjusted, otherwise something is wrong with the reel.

Nice giveaway.YFT in my avatar caught with a 80SW two speed international.

I have A Jx and a Talica, I am happy with both Performance wise.They both feel the same to me when fighting fish of the same size and species.

Its a good size striped marlin,besides nobody in Hawaii wastes what they catch.

I have a Jx and can get two of my fingers on the spool when using chunk or bait but its pretty tight, and i have average size hands.Maybe for that reason the lx might be better for you.If you do get a Jx you can get a little over 500yds of 65# max quatro power pro on it no problem I have it on mine.

Thanks Rob.

If I hook on to a 100lb tuna will the JX 4.6 do the job, considering it will take time of course.I know the 2 speed jx and raptor are better for big fish, I am just curious to know what the capabilities of the 4.6 is.
