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 .

Wahoo, Gray Snapper and Mahi Mahi!

One of the fastest fish in the ocean, these Wahoo (or "Ono" in Hawaiian) can hit a lure at 15 mph or more! More common in the summer months are the smaller 15 to 30 lb. models. In the winter we get the big one's over 60 pounds but they are harder to find.



A very fat Gray Snapper caught on a live "Opelu" on the downrigger.


A 40 lb. "Bull" Mahi Mahi caught on a live "Opelu" can give you a great battle on light tackle!
