Hawaii decided for me...

[elevated]

Hey all on the board, hope everyone is having a nice holiday season. I returned to my home of Honolulu this week to visit family, although the trip was very short I think it helped a lot with a decision I have been wrestling with for a few years. Move home to Hawaii or stay in CA? I was really just starting to love CA in the Last few years too!!! Anyway I got in a little fishing on this trip and caught a papio, its in the jack family and one of the best fighters. This fish is pretty prized in hawaii because it fights really hard when hooked. I haven't caught one of these fish since I was very little and was just so stoked to see it on the other end of the line. Unfortunately he was gut hooked and ended up on the parents table a few hours later, he tasted great and I was proud to provide my parents with a little fresh fish! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season and thank you to Ola for the unreal rental gear, bra your the only guy I know that would let someone use such a expensive setup. Of course MW lures in the mix!

Aloha!

Man those poppers are bad*** and wow that is one hell of a "rental" set-up. Nice job on the Papio!

I would never forget about FNN, literally everyone I have ever reached out to has been cool on this board, If any members are in hawaii and want to do some fishing please PM me. Also to Dqfish I was fishing on the south east side, near Aina Hina.
