Gret vid. Thanks for posting. I noticed you put a muzzle or shealth around that ono's mouth befor you stashed it in the hatch. Great idea right there. What were you using bait or lure wise? Is that kage barbed or knotched in any way? Seams like if the spike was smooth or polished it would slide back out of the fish. Thanks, Mike

Aloha Mike, I like to use the muzzle to protect my fish bag in my hull, I ruined a bag stuffing ono's in without the muzzle before! Them teeth are razor sharp! I like to use whatever live bait that are around the peligcs since that is what they are feeding on, mostly scads. But sometimes they are very hard to find and catch and I'm stuck with using crystal minnows or swim baits. My kage is made out of a 3/8" stainless steel threaded rod. It usually sticks very well if you hit um in the head or spine, but if I get a meat or belly shot it does slip out if I don't back it up with my gaff! I also had a tuna slip off when I kaged it right through the eyes. Try to hit um in the head, it's very bony and it most likely will never slip off! I stoned a 71# tuna in the brain with my kage and pretty much had to unscrew it out because it was stuck so bad! Lol

Thanks mike and tight lines!

Here's a new vid of the ono's I caught from the past couple weeks! I went out yesterday and had an EPIC day!!!! Hooked and landed 3 yellow fin tunas, 12#, 30#, and a monster 115# yellow fin tuna! A 4 hour battle and 3 mile tow kicked my butt! Lol but it was well worth it! Gonna work on that vid this weekend and post it here when it's done! Mahalo everyone for the awseome comments and aloha!

That's some awsome fishing you have over there! I still can't belive you can actually catch wahoo from your kayak! How far do you usually have to paddle? Man if you wanted to catch wahoo here you'd have to go on a 7-8 day out of san diego...and go about 600 miles...your a lucky guy! Cant' wait for the yellowfin video that's too cool!!!

VINNYC · 12-21-2012, 05:49 PM

You make me want to tell my wife were going on a vacation to Hawaii and just fish the entire time were there, looks like a blast!!!

Kau grown · 12-23-2012, 02:19 PM

The day before I caught a 115# yellow fin tuna I bumped into the worlds largest fish, this whale shark was massive!!!!! It made a 19 foot boat next to it look like a lil dingy!!!! It hung out for about 10 minutes until the boats chased it away!!! Them damn noisy motors!!!!! It was an awesome expiernce I will never forget! I got some underwater footage with my gopro while it was checking me out, but I had to keep my distance since I know that they like to scratch there backs on the bottom of the boats. I didn't want to be a back scratcher for a fish this size!!!
Shortly after it left I hooked and landed a 31# bull mahimahi! I gotta say it was an awesome week and a great Xmas gift!

Happy holidays and tight lines brothers!
Aloha, KG

Great videos!! I spent 4 years on the Kona side of the Big Island many years ago. Wish I would have been into kayak fishing back then. I never would have left. Which side of the island do you normally fish? Mahalo for the videos bro.

Killer as usual. You need to get somebody to change the words on "Gangster Paradise" to "Pelagic Paridise".

RESPECT! Wahoo is just incredible from a kayak, but the 115# Ahi is out of control.
