Jigging 101

Today was another nice day in paradise so our plan was to go fishing.  Kekoa Mau, James Oshiro and I loaded up and were at the dock bright and early.  We headed east and got to the buoy and saw several boats there already.  They weren't trollling but jigging so we decided to test out our jigging skills.

On our second drop, Hanapaa!  We hook up to this nice shibi and all the other boats pull up along side to watch us fight this fish up.  We land it, bleed it, and snap a photo before we try again.

After that we did a few more drops and move inside to find this nice mahi mahi and luckily snagged it in the eye with our favorite gaji lure!  We boated the fish and set the lines out and my outrigger with the 12/0 reel goes off!  I put the boat in gear but the hook doesn't set in time.. I wonder what kind of fish we lost.  Next time we will get the 100+ lb ahi.  Thanks Koa and James for a fun day on the water.
