Blast from the past.

1987
Aboard the commercial bottom fishing vessel
Ohana Kai out of Kewalo Basin.
At Pearl and Hermes Reef, NWHI.
100+ lbs, we didn't get a weight on it, we were too busy putting fish in the boat.
2,000 lbs in 2 hours.
Sold at United Fishing Agency Auction Block
No worries about ciguatera back then.
Cap'n said the fish finder showed about 140,000 lbs of ulua under the boat so we didn't even dent the school.
Our target fish were opakapaka but we got some butaguchi, and hapu'upu'u while bottom fishing and caught pelagics while trolling from place to place.

Maybe its just me, but can't see the pic

 

Jack,
That is fricken cool; try reposting the pic, no can see.

Cheers
Pat

 

I can't see the pic either. Maybe try photobucket so we can see it.

 

...A little help please. I tried to insert photo using BDs platform and it didn't come up, so I copied and pasted URL from my facebook page. Can't figure out how to post pictures....http:///www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=424165394305658&set=a.153167158072151.35694.100001366022089&type=3&theater

 

Photo might be too large for bd itself. I usually upload my photos to imageshack and then link from there.

 

Can anyone view your Facebook page/pics or do you have it set so only your friends can view it?

 

Opens right up for me Nice!

 

Here is the picture. Awesome pic. That thing is a beast.

 

too bad that entire area is closed off. lots of fish, even to this day. I think a limited entry fishery/ grandfathered in kinda thing woulda worked....but I don't know. that's a beast for sure

 

My Uncle had one of the permits for up there and the stories he tells are almost unbelievable. Kind of sad to think that the Hawaiians/people of Hawaii may never be able to fish up there again.

 

@ Nick/Morris Lures....
HOW DID YOU DO THAT ?

 

Just for reference, in the photo I'm 5' 11", 180 lbs.
(I'm a little heavier now )

 

Unreal. That's pretty awesome.

Saved the Picture to my computer. Then I uploaded it to a private photo album on my Facebook to host the picture. After I uploaded it I right clicked on the picture and copied the Properties. Then clicked the picture button above the text box on bloody decks pasted it and done.

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks Nick, I'll try it next time.
