Super Bowl Sash

Mission was to find a fish or two for our upcoming family Super Bowl party.  Conditions were super rough with high surf warnings and strong 30 knots winds in the forecast.  We were the only guys out fishing and it was crazy!  We left at dark and could only see waves 5 ft in front of the boat which made it challenging. Waves were breaking in the channel but we made out ok going super slow 4 knots.  Finally got to our grounds and laid our spread of Gaji lures as we got to work!

First Nairagi or striped marlin for 2019.  It came up to the boat green "alive" and started bolting under the boat until my starboard propeller caught his head and he was done!  Last year we had the hardest time landing a marlin too.

We even a a four banger hebi landing 3 out of the 4. Along with some akus, mahis and ono to add to the mix.  Came home cut the fish up just in time for the game!

Some of the pupus.  

half the spread shown here.

Along with Menpachi Walter and Akule Joe to reminisce about the good ol days.  Thank you to my crew for their support in providing the super bowl 53 sash.  A day to remember!

Phone Addiction

A friend of mine sent this video to be careful of becoming addicted to your phone.  Where do you stand on this issue?  Think about it!

Dive Day!

Windy week but nice to dive!  So decided to head out with Kirby, Josh, Seth and Kekoa for some filming for HSDTV.

Passed to see how my new boat was coming along, ha ha!  There was 3 boats on top of this yacht.

Seth got this nice yellow spot!  This kid is going to be world champ one day!

Solid Swell

Solid 12 ft. swell today up north.  Got big fast with some bombs!  Saw this young girl and her sister playing with the sand and luckily they were not swept away.

Tomorrow should be big also so bust out the guns and surf safe!

Creatures from the deep

Wow what a beautiful day!  Like Martin Luther King said, "FREE AT LAST!"  That's what it feels like when we ride the Red Sea Boat!

Late start but enjoyed the view!

How's this creature Al got in the deep!

Mix bag of steamers.  Mahalos to Jon, Cat, Al, and two old crows for all their help today!  

Happy Birthday Mom!

Wishing our mom, Earline aka "mama crow"Nakamoto a very happy birthday!  She's the backbone to our family and works so hard always behind the scenes getting it done!  We love you very much and appreciate all you do!

Waves been pumping this week so got a chance to ride the bigger boards!  Stay safe out there everyone!  Cold front coming through the island so expect some wet weather soon with breezy winds for 2nd half of the week.  

Surf Check!

Waves have been fun this winter and our morning routing is to find the best spot on the island and get some exercise.  Here my surf partners Rick, Randy, Bryant and Wade on the surf check.

Seen an amazing sunrise this morning as well which made it even more special.
