Molokai Adventure 2010

Last few days have been really nice here in Hawaii so we packed up for a boat trip to the one of the most beautiful places in this world, Molokai. Steep sheer mountains with waterfalls and nobody around. Like out of a movie we pulled up to this private beach and set anchor. Did you know this place is where they filmed "Jurassic Park"?
Captain Ryan "kamakazi" suited up half way put on his churchill fins and three prong and heading out for a quick dive. Ryan hasn't dove for years and after he put on his wetsuit it was like Clark Kent becoming the "Hawaiian Superman". He had some good bottom time and nailed some nice fish. It was just like high school daze for him and his brother Erick.
Erick is the most mellowest guy I know...He dives with me alot and if he's not working saving lives as a doctor he is diving with me. He stoned this amberjack with a 100 cm Riffe Euro and then called it a day.
Until Evening came and Ryan brought out his bottom fishing gear and started hooking Akule and Opelu. He saw this huge fish swimming around the boat and baited up a opelu and after a few lost strikes he put the bait on the trolling poll and he got a screamer. We did a tag and release on this bad boy after a few photos.

The rest of our 2nd boat crew was Wendell Ko, Puna Apio, and Sue Moreno who hung out with us and we had a great time together with lots of fish for our families. Thanks Ryan and Erick for a great time and can't wait to do it again..and again...and again!
