Thanks for sharing the pictures those fishes are beautiful. I was a little boy and fished with my father. I caught those fishes and released them back into the ocean.

It was a good ole memory the days with my dad.

the end of just one of the 5 good days of fishing.that pretty much is it and it was the first time I have ever gone to hawaii and me and my dad figured out what to do mainly on are own so I think we did pretty good.And are nwxt trip might be australia this next summer so will post tons of pics if we go.

[steve092]

Nice going! Lots of color in the fish!

[calico killer kevin]

Sweet. That looks like Oahu? I was at Kauai early July and I caught many of the same fish, but not nearly as many. Nice! Wish I brought my heavier rigs for those predators.

[FINSMACKDOWN]

Great pics,thanks for sharing. Mybrother lived there for a year and always told me of the cool fish he caught.

[falcor49]

well i landed all of this fish on a daiwa ul with 20 lb. test i know that sounds like a lie but you can even see the pole in the one of the photos andit was 20 bucks and i stayed in kona boy those bluefin trevally are a pain to try to catch they would slam my topwater and not get stuck and they came through in schools of 30-55. and made all the little fish run to the surface.hopefully next time

[RamboBoy]

Another more pictures..

Beautiful fishes! WTG, Falcor!

[Kevman]
