Hawaiibassfishing Forum

just wondering if there are any other trout lovers on the forum, here are a couple pics of my "trophy" size trout. my freshwater fishing before i moved here was strickly trout, never got into bass fishing till about a couple moths ago. now im hooked! i prefer throwing spinners and cranks for largemo...

i know! i think all the red devils splashing around the bread got the smallmouth all excited, then he just attacked the first thing he saw, which was my little bread ball haha.

here are a couple pics of a HUGE smallmouth i caught 3 years ago at ho'omaluhia. i was just fishing for red devils like always, then i hooked up to this monster. im kind of bummed though, i caught it on bread...... thing had to weigh at least 4 pounds, didn't get to offically weigh it though. It was...

i use small trout spinners for smallmouths. bait wise, id use small mosquito fish. pound for pound i say smallmouth fight the hardest so use 4 pound test for some fun

actually bluegill sounds better since they're harder to catch. we can do both. whats the current record, 8 ounces?

just a random idea, we should have a little fun competition to see who can catch the state record red devil. since i gurantee there are red devils bigger than the current state record.

they better not stop stocking largemouth here. im just starting to learn bass techniques. plus i want bass fishing close to home. i dont want to have to travel.

i got one of those stuck in my knee before...... but its ok since i catch smallies on that lure! i think ill start using it for tucs, perhaps the white color.

why did they close nuuanu? after all the hard work knute did to try and save it? didnt the government know that nuuanu was a family fishing tradition for all these years?

haha thanks stan, maybe i can be as famous as dougy one day

not trying to be mean at the old man but i think he's sort of a poser. he only fishes easy to catch red devils and tilapia. i dont think he ever goes to lake wilson. i also see him kiss the tilapia he catches just like how jimmy houston kisses the bass. when i was whipping a rapala, he said in a mea...

ya he usually helps the kids in the front, just move all the way down to avoid him. thats what i do!! you can try casting for smallmouths this way. i dont think theres acually a rule saying no overhead casting.

when i went i didnt see any, but people told me those illegal guys would go at night on a boat and net all the halalu. but like you said the stupid DLNR people wont catch these guys so they are just gonna keep doing it.

i tried a zoom finesse worm in purple a couple times and havent had any luck. i am texas rigging it with a 1/8th ounce bullet weight. im not really sure how to retrieve the worm. i tried twitching my rod 2 times, then letting it drop. any suggestions?
