FISH WITH TEETH!

This is a 60 lb Barracuda that could use some dental work! We tagged and released the fish to scare someone else another day.

A 40 lb. Wahoo has a mouth full of razor blade teeth that can cut through 200 lb. test CABLE leader. We are VERY careful when landing one off these fish.

This 122 lb. Ulua could eat just about anything it wanted! This fish was caught on a live "Opelu" fishing near a deep underwater cave where they like to hide out during the day .

Surface fish and some BIG bottom fish!

This is one GIANT TREVALLY! This incredible fish was caught on a live bait on our downrigger by a 10 year old girl on June 28th 2003. With some help from our crew she was able to get the fish to the boat in 45 minutes. This is our second largest "Ulua" in 30 years!















Mahi Mahi come in all sizes all year long. A beautiful game fish and one of the finest eating of all! They are also known as "Dolphin Fish", or Dorado. 10 year old Kelly had a great time with this 25 lb.Bull" (male) Mahi Mahi.





"G.T"!!
(Giant Trevally)
This one of the most sought after game fish for all our local fishermen. Big, strong, and hard fighting, they can really pull some line and give you a battle. They feed mostly at night but have a hard time passing up a little Mackerel desert during the day!

Giant Trevally!

On November 20th,2001 Martha Hutton and her husband Mark went out for an evening of fishing for Giant Trevally or "Ulua" (Hawaiian name). Our son Tyler had just caught the Junior I.G.F.A. record the week earlier. On our last drift before heading in she hooked up and landed this beautiful 75lb. monster. There's nothing better than "Lady Luck"!




On November 23rd,2002 almost exactly one year later Mark and Martha decided to try again. On Mark's first drop after sunset he hooked up and landed this incedible 92lb. Ulua! Now the battle is on for the biggest Ulua of 2003!
