We finally got Kekoa out on the Red Sea boat to catch fish. Here he is making as if he is wide awake.

Two minutes later he was out cold.

Today's mix plate of fish!

Mahalos for all your help reeling these boys in.

Pupu hour starts now!

Fresh moi from Brent!

Mean grinds at Nakamoto bar and grill. 5 star rating on yelp.

Good times, good friends and good grinds!

Harbor life

Whole culture resides here at heeia Kea pier.

This guy Floyd sleeps here and he's always out fishing.

Forecast

Small surf all summer. Changes coming soon for all the surfers. 

Always good to do your homework and knowing the right forecast.

Dry Fish

Nice day to dry fish! Akule and aku.

This should last me one day! Better get my boat ready to restock!

King Tide

Have you seen the king tides yet? Small trailer for a big boat at heeia pier.

Black moon fishing

Did you see the solar eclipse? I did!

Loaded up the Red Sea boat and we headed out with akule joe, Jaime and Ryan Kagami to catch akule.

The bite was on and akule joe was on point! One after the other with multiple strikes. Jaime with the master!

Even Ryan got his share of akule.

Came back in to drop off uncle at day break with over 50 pieces.

Ryan, cat and me headed back out and went looking for Pelagics.

Got some nice Otarus on our lures, Mahis and lost a Shibi.

Headed in with enough for the week. Great day and night fishing during the black moon.

Fresh sashimi! So good!

Fried akule!

Party time! Fishing seems to always bring our family and friends together. Thanks to my crew for a great time!

Black moon

Black moon coming! Akule Joe got the feevah, so we are on! Time to get the Red Sea boat ready.

Boat service

Working and servicing my engines today. Our boat worked hard this ahi season and you can tell by the chocolate brown oil. Take care of your boat and your boat will take care of you.

R&R

Spent the weekend up north with my ohana. 

Sightseeing playing tourist.

Took the boys diving.

Even hit a few golf balls. 

Camping

Roughing it and relaxing with my ohana.

Chill day

Chilling out in our new cooler! This bugga costed me my arm and leg so probably be my coffin as well, ha ha!

Rocket test

Headed out to test my new gaji lures aku rockets.

Al changing up his position.

Aku rockets working! Otarus and large akus!

Koi gyotaku

Mahalo Jaime and Ryan Kagami for the papaya and bananas! We eat this everyday!

Prized Koi from Alan Tokoro passed away so we printed this beautiful fish.

Now Crow will add color and it will be a one of a kind gyotaku.

Expensive fish

Check out these ridiculous prices at marukai for ahi! 

Change Skirts

Seems like I change my skirts on my Gaji lures as often as I change my clothes! lol it's just as important to have your players on point for every game, win or lose.

Ahi belly

Ahi belly always the first to go! 

Owens Ahis

Owen Adams joined me and cat for a day he will never forget.  Owen never reeled in an Ahi before so we headed out to try our luck. 

Owen found his happy place and was parked for an hour or two until...

Bam! Bam! Bam! Triple banger! We get um in both but one comes off somehow.

Mahalos to our land crew for their help as we were at the right place at the right time today. I wonder if Owen has Ahi feevah now?
