Title: Various images from over the years
Post by: Makule on February 09, 2012, 05:09:51 AM
My wife and I have had some very enjoyable experiences fishing.  She started fishing about 4 months before we got married, and got her image on the cover of Hawaii Fishing News the next month.  It took me many years to make the cover, and I had to share it with a couple of other images.  She got the
whole page.  We don't do any boat fishing since we both get seasick, so we stay on shore.

One of her first Mahimahi.

Wow, that was you?  Wasn't she featured in Hawaii Fishing New?  I remember reading an article with a picture of a woman with a trolling rod and massive reel fighting a fish, and the next picture was her with a mahi mahi.

Thanks for sharing.  Ah, I miss Hawaii.

Great shots Makule - this is what it's all about.
The ono... the sailfish... but particularly the 'fifty-two lb bull Mahimahi' - epic.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Justin
