Been a while as I need to get/cut tubing and melt lead.
In the meantime……a pusher and slant in matching Blue Ocean Mfg. outfits! Mahalo Gary Yamamoto as he texted me “you want some skirts?” Pfffft……is the Pope Catholic? 🤣🤣🤣🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Some may know that my son Reid is the inspiration behind “Big Reidee”.
Back then I thought I could instill a lifetime of fishing knowledge into him. He went fishing with us back then but followed a higher calling.
“Big Reidee”——————>”PhD Reidee” and I couldn’t be prouder.
Well done son, well done! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Another text this afternoon from
Jonah. I made a couple of heads for him to give to his dad for his dad’s birthday a few weeks ago.
He got a double with both heads today around 150 # and 110 #.
He’s happy……and made me happy. 😉🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Yesterday was a memorable day for Capt. Keith and Kyle. I had mentioned to him that the ahi were biting good this past week off Haleiwa and Kaneohe and maybe on their way to Maui.
At 6 am he sent me a pic of the Maui sunrise and I thought “beautiful”…….and an omen.
Around 20 minutes later he texts “We on!”
Before 7 am and he gets an ahi on a BR Pusher.
A couple hours later he texts me “We on!” with a follow-up text saying “Got em, getting bigger!” BR slant
A couple hours later another text “We on!”
Then a few hours later “one marlin got to drag um home😂”. Same BR Pusher from the first ahi, the Marlin going 636 #.
“think if wasn’t for the marlin we would have got more ahis”
Sorry for spoiling your trip to get more ahi Capt. Keith and Kyle! 😉🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

I always say “go make memories”.
Capt. Keith just texted me “My first sail”. In Hawaii, they’re rare. And he’ll remember this “first” for sure. 😉
Now go get some gorilla ahi’s! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
