JUST SHY OF 4 LB'S

Started the cleaning process but stopped for a final photo realizing that sizable Moana Kali aren't an every dive occurrence.

Macnut pig

Earholed with a 22mag. Some of the best tasting pork chops you can find. 60#(dressed weight) sow with about a 1" of fat all the way around. mmmm..mmm!

Hadouken broadhead :)

Scenery pics are a good way to share some of the sights we get to see in the field, but it is also usually a good indicator that you " didn't catch shit" lol. It's like going hunting for pigs and coming back with vegetables ie. Warabi, kakuma or water cress.

California Quail (male)

One of the species that add to making Hawaii's bird hunting so exciting and rewarding! Nice to be surprised as to what might flush!

--The Strike and Fight-- The strike and the fight are the ingredients that make fishing from the boat so addicting! And of course, lets not forget about the great tasting fish!

Doubles

Not one big ahi but two! Sashimi,Poke,Seared, grilled, Panko and fried, Collars,Bellies, Anything you want!

Check out the link to see why using Gasoline is a BAD idea

--Eclectic Catch-- All very delicious fish! Knifejaw, Opelu Kala, Rainbow runner (Kamanu), Pake Papio and more Opelu kala. Great day! oh and the cold beverage to end that great day :)

Looks like a bachelor herd there

It's that time where all the rams are hanging together, Many hunters dream scenario. I'd say that ram would be just about in the 31" range(horn length). A trophy by most peoples standards

Hooked up!

Big Boy VS Big Boy!

Looks Like Kalani won

Happy fisherman :)

I'm sure Kalani won't soon forget his 175# ahi he got to fight from a fighting chair. We bet it was a great workout battle that left Kalani with some respect for the power and fight in that fish!

200+

Rt didn't weigh this ahi but it's definitely in the 200# + range.

Pueeo

It's great that many people have phones with good cameras. Then they are able to capture photos such as this one. Thanks Paulie! Oh, And remember: Don't mistake the barn owls for Pueeo... There is a difference And if you didn't know... now you know..

shoat? sheep/goat cross?

Sheep curl/horn: est @ 14" Goat horn: est @ 16"

Good Eating Mullet !! Do not underestimate how good eating mullet are. Steamed or poached with some shoyu mixed sauce, ginger and parsley (optional). Finish it off by pouring the hot peanut oil all over it... Hoooooweeee!!

More mullet (2 days catch)

Here is a good example of "well kept fish". 8 of these mullet were caught the day before and the rest caught the morning that this picture was taken. Without adequate ice, or the fish sitting in melted ice water, it would be a lot more noticeable to which fish were caught before the other. When it's hard to tell, it is a good sign that the fish was cared for well and the fish meat will be of good quality. Unless it's hard to tell cause they all look shitty.

Cleaning fish

Mullet is one of the best fish to learn how to clean and gut. Scales come off easy and they don't have a lot of bony fins to poke your hands. They do however have lots of "shit" in their stomach as do most limu (algae) eating fish. Makes for messy and stink hands if you don't wear gloves while gutting these fish. It's all a part of fishing. Enjoy!

FISH FAT If you look at this photo and the previous photo. There is a white textured layer within the cavity of these mullet. It's fat. Fish fats are a great source of omega 3 oils and they definitely add a richness to the taste of the fish. Rinse it well and mix it with the meat when the fish is being eaten. For those who know... it is definitely something to be happy about. :)

Big Boy on board!

Now the problem is.... Where do you put all that fish? Eat em, smoke em or sell em? Or All three options? What a good problem to have. :)

Now we can see the length with some scale with the 3 members of the crew. (Keesan, RT, and Keenan) (Length: 120")(Girth: 62") Putting this marlin in the area of 580#

ONO, by name and taste

The only thing is the drinks are going to taste like fish! Ah F#$k it. That's what it taste like when you catch..... and don't have a separate cooler for the drinks

Ipo (12 weeks old) Just 12 weeks old and pointing! Nice to have a strong bloodline. Interesting to have a prime example of a genetically transferred behavior, such as pointing. Ipo is a German shorthair pointer in the solid liver color. Nice puppy, Can't wait to see him in the mountain!

Double Day

29 3/4 on his left and 29 on the right. Good thing the dry land pigs are small, or packing out two animals would have made for a "bust ass" hunt. They weren't close to the truck either but that's usually where the action is.

I think he's hungry

But he didn't get that big being stupid.

They look good in color and in black

Even in this black and white photo, you can see the eye clarity on this ahi. a very good indicator into a well iced fish, There are other indicators such as firmness, smell, temp etc. This fish is well within the range of being delicious! Yeah!!!

Kona Crabs

1 of the few scenario's in which it's good to have a lot of crabs. Looks like somebody knows the spots and techniques to catch these buggahs

Going to or from?

Either way, it looks even cooler with that logo :) And Gamakatsu hooks are good, action packers hold gear well, home depot makes good buckets and lids........

The Shirts are Travelling :)

Looks good on the mainland and on the Islands. Hell, We think they'll look good anywhere. Send us your photos to show where you've been with your Outdoor Vigor T-Shirts.

Yup, they look good there too

Only thing is, We never got to hear how the Firehouse Subs were.

Therapy..... Everything fades away in anticipation for the potential of action :)

Forensics : Due to the placement of the animal and blood splatter.... This animal dropped straight down! Wow !!! ... Nice Shot!!! Somebody knows their weapon

Rarely do they come in easy

This fish represents power and strength. Check out the Ulua/GT shirt design. Follow the link

Some Deep Water Species. Alfonsin, Monchong and deep sea aweoweo (bulleye)

Smoked meat (Pork)

The process is not too complicated but... It still takes some time and effort. ie: after getting the meat (buying or hunting). cut in strips, add sauce marinade or dry ingredients for your recipe, cut the fire wood, smoke the meat, let it cool, bag it. That's a quick rundown of the process, like we said.. Its not complicated, but it ain't exactly "Easy". Sausage is even more labor intensive. So appreciate it when you get to eat some ;)

HOOOLY SHIT!! GIANT Pasteles. Or is that Laulau's? There's so many ways of doing things and this is definitely different. That's why it's good to hang out with many different friends that love doing the same things. You can learn soo many different styles and techniques. Yessah!
