Why kill the sailfish?

Not speaking on personal preference(Let em swim) but I think out in Hawaii anyone can sell there fish at the Market you don't need a special license, so it was probably gas money for the whole trip. Just sayin. don't shoot the messenger

Sounds about right, but the safety is off just in case.

why not, whats the diff between that and a WSB or YT, a fish is a fish.
I'm from the Big Isle and i've caught a sail from my kayak... and i ate it! Best fish i ever had.

@Punatunahi where u gonna be in AK, im gonna be seining in the sound too, we might throw a couple yaks on the back of the boat and try and nab a few barndoor or salmon shark between openers.

p.s. u don't need a special license to fish in Hawaii. you do need a license to legally sell fish, but its only $50.

Nice haul out on the islands... Why in the hell would you leave though?? The fishings better over there and now you gotta deal with the rat race over here.

If you get off the boat and make it to a computer put up an Alaska report, I'de like to see what you scallywags are up to up there.....

Im going back in sept. Just came to califoria to have a extended vacation with the family. If you happen to stop by hilo side of the big island I'll be running a boat out of pohiki. So if you want to hook up for a private charter for a day let me know. Or even now, as you can see my partners could put you on some fish. I'll try to report something in alaska if I get a chance.
