....and something slightly smaller but still a beautiful specimen, IMHO.

A little Pumpkinseed sunfish. Caught on a nymph fly.

Steve O's sturgeon looks a lot like an alligator gar to me ::)
Not all fishing is done with rod and reel.

A fun day turning the handle for a great crew on a great boat.  I am not a religious guy, but there is something magical about the Kona side, sheltered by those enormous volcanos and haunted by the ghosts of King Kamehameha and Captain Cook and all of those granders that almost makes me a believer every time that I spend a day on the water there.

Holy Cow! Randy :o
You are the Man! ;)
My Very first Shark four year ago.
I thought it was a blacktip, but now I know it was a spinner shark.
He also swam off strong. That is how I like to do it.
60 Seconds is my time limit for a shark on the sand after tail roping, dehooking and a quick pic.

Nice work!

Looks like a good day.  Makes for a pretty picture at the dock.

Vintage Offshore Tackle, love those Dorado, I still want to get a plug to those one day.    We occasionally see them in our waters but has not happened to me yet.

You are a very brave man to unhook and release those sharks Daron!  I still have a scar on my hand from of unhooking a baby mako.  Ineptitude and carelessness are a bad combination.

Thanks John.  We found a big floating log on our way back in and turned 15 opelu into 15 mahi, slow trolling in circles around the log.

With all of the great fishing that you have for yellowfin, albacore, bigeye, black marlin and yellowtail, you probably don't have much time to miss the dorado.

You have to keep your wits Randy. I am more scared of the smaller ones when trying to release them.
You can't anticipate their moves when they are small.
That spinner was probably 100 lbs, when he came on the sand, he thrashed Violently.
Literally shaking the ground. He was coming off the sand at least two feet in his shaking frenzy. He looked like a pissed off Dolphin. I just waited until he was done and went to work.
He behaved after I pulled that 20/0 hook out of his Jaw Bone.
Right tools for the job will keep you away from those teeth.
That is my Dehooker in my left hand. Made of solid stainless, about 18" long.
