These fish are in a closed season for the summer. Apologies on the pics, my phone was dropped and has a crack on camera housing and won't focus.
I like to different species,,,,, :D hope to see you rack up on them,,,,,,,,, ;D
Another pic from a separate fishing trip
Moi is the best. Before Moi was reserved for only the chiefs on up Kings of Hawaii and can only be taken during open season. My second favorite fish only second to Opakapaka.
I unfortunately gill hooked this fish even with a full circle hook. Luckily their season just opened.
I'm hungry for some steamed moi
I like crispy skin fried moi! Hard to get good sized ones except on other islands than Oahu.
Picked up a pair yesterday
Very cool looking fish,,,,,, 8) what do you catch them on,,,,,, ;D
Thanks. I was throwing chunks of cut fish but I have caught moi throwing artificials.

what do they taste like,,,,,
,, ;D
They are very tasty but on the mild side. I steamed the pair i caught.
Dang, we have that fish in Florida. Well, the Atlantic Threadfin. Not a common catch but you get some occasionally while surf fishing for Pompano. Never thought to eat one. Now that I hear they are good, I probably won't catch another. Thanks for the information.

Atlantic Threadfin
On the Texas coast we used to call them Whisker Minnows. When they bunch up and begin to migrate they are accompanied by tarpon, jacks, ling/cobia, etc, They're such good bait that it would be a shame to eat one.
In Hawaii they are so popular as a food fish that millions of bucks have been invested in learning to farm them.

Just scaled.
Moi is the yummiest of shore caught fish. In ancient Hawaiian times, the fish was reserved for only chief on up. Not for any commoners risk repercussions including death if caught eating one. Moi sits a solid second to my favorite deep water opakapaka.
