Been busy working and spending time with the family before the kids head out for the summer with there Grandpa but here's some action from the past couple days, been doing some exploring looking for new spots and been getting lucky finding fish in areas I have not fished before. Also ran into an old childhood friend who I hardly see and was privileged to put him on his very first Ulua/GT.
So i'm driving up to my parents house to get my boat and run into him as all our parents still live in the same neighborhood we grew up in, classic local Hawaii. I say howzit and what you doing? he says just came up to cut mom's grass. my response, like go fish for a couple hours? my buddy "Shoots" in Hawaii it means OK :lol: . Little did he know he would be hooking up to the biggest fish he caught to date, He was stoked and floored but not as happy as me for giving him the opportunity to catch the "Big One". Heres what it looks like when you catch a Ulua for the very first time. You never know when your day comes!
Fish Measured 45"/114cm, fight time was 8 minutes on a heavy drag. Note that my buddies biggest fish before this was a trumpet fish less than a pound or kilo :lol:. For all you guys throwing lures waiting for that big boy its out there waiting for you never give up, and if I can I hope i'm there with you cheering you on to TUNDA!
