This weekend was the 2013 Hanapaa shootout! Total purse at $15k! Lots of nice boats and Hawaii's top fisherman showed up for this big event. Ahi Season is in full swing and the fish are out there if you know where to look.
This was the 2nd biggest Ahi that came up at 174 lbs. These guys were stoked!
A couple nice marlin came up weighing in at 374 lbs. As the marlin hung upside down a whole aku fell out of its stomach.
Lots of spectators in the house. These two men had a few beers and wanted to place bets with us on who could guess the correct weights. They took out their coins, 4 cents each and started betting!
There were big boats coming in some around 50 ft long. This guy had a 19ft glasspro and probably the smallest size boat but landed the biggest Ahi 188.6 lbs. He was a smile from ear to ear and it was so cool to watch as he carried his daughter up for the photo.
It was a great fishing tournament and hopefully someday we can enter one also. In the mean time we are going to practice to become better fisherman. One of my dreams is to catch a 100 plus pound yellowfin! Now I'm getting excited to go fishing!
