WIll you be fishing in Cali or just visiting the forum?

Mahalo oxbeast! I landed a sponsorship with penn along with 3 others here from Hawaii for next years season, penn said that they will be flying us around the world to compete in world wide yak tournaments! I always enter a few weekend tourneys and a year long tourny here in Hawaii and they see my skills and catches so that's how I got sponsored. Im pretty sure I might be fishing up there too and wanted to learn about the types of fish and fishing styles up there before I do get a chance to fish there. Penn is sending four of us down to Christmas Island in February for 8 days to do a media shoot to use for there advertising. Christmas Island's fishing is real similar to Hawaii's fishing so I'm not to worried about that trip. I heard that the fishing up there is awseome if you know what your doing and I ain't got a clue about the fish and fishing styles up there! But this site has a lot of info I can learn from, knowledge is a big part of being sucesful! And I still have a lot to learn.

Aloha and tight lines,
KG

Aloha everyone, it has been almost 4 months since I've been on the ocean due to my injury. I Finaly felt like I was recoverd enough to try and do a lil fishing for small game yesterday. Launched out in the morning and made bait quickly, I decide to paddle out 1 mile and see what kind of action was out there, but after 4 hours I only took a short strike that spit the hook. The wind started to pick up so I decided to paddle back in to shore. About half way in my pole starts bouncing and I hear a huge splash behind me, I look back and see a sailfish going airborne!!!! It did it's aireal show for about 3 minutes and then gassed out. 10 minutes later I had a 51 lb sailfish on my lap and started my journey back to land. It felt so great to be back on the water and land my second sail this year!!!! I'm gonna be hitting the water hard the rest of this year to makeup my 4 months being down at home! I got most of the short battle on film, gotta do a lil editing and I will post the vid here!

Aloha, KG

I was out there last summer for RIMPAC. Rented a yak at Schofield and fished the sewer, I mean Lake Wilson for peacock bass. Had a blast. Another guy on a yak set me up with how to catch em. He had a pelican I believe. Next time I'll try the ocean.
