Nice fish brah! Good on ya!

Find a pool up in da mountains. I have had a lot of luck using crawdads (crayfish). Sometimes theyre easy to spot, but when you see one throw a dip net on it or grab it. Then hook it to a size 7-11 AH hook through the tail and chuck it into a pool. Big bass will come out of the wood works if the cra...

Thanks for the help guys. I'm focused on catching a hawaiian pbass, so it's only a matter of time before I land one. Couple of questions too. Is BBP accessible by car and if so how and where can I park without getting boned. Anyone ever fish the golf course out here? I live by Ala Wai and I have bee...

Good luck Chris! Make Hawaii proud! Never used the Magic, but I will have to give it a go.

Shoots brah on the hard work!

Before I start, Like I said I am from Florida. Not used to calling peacock bass Tucs yet so if I call them pbass or peaks it's just what I used to calling them.

Thank you! I thought the big guy wasn't coming in! Huge rips on my drag down stream! So fun!

Had some luck on live madaka

Thanks for all of your help 007! I really appreciate any local knowledge I can get. I will update you guys tmrw if I catch one!

Where do I find them? I will be bringing a dip net to catch bait and hitting the stream tommorrow afternoon. Any one who wants can join. Like I said I found some pools with nice sized ones. Should I bring anything else to catch bait? I have size 20 hooks for Oama that I use on baby tialpia and cichl...

Haha I just moved here! What are the mainland names for some of these baits lol! I am still learning your ways

I checked out the manoa river near the UH manoa campus. I took a little bit of hiking, but I finally found some pools that appear to be harboring SMB's. I saw a nice size one from shore in one pound and some small ones in another. I didn't bring a rod on the trip, but I wish I would have. How do you...

That's rad! I wanna catch those kine SMB's

Well I'm gonna go hit it from the shore this weekend. If I see anyone out there I'll be the haole with the silver suv lol tight lines to anyone going fishing.

Holy cow man, and I thought Florida had problems with invasives! I haven't seen big plecos out here like us though. Only little ones. None like this which I shot with a fishing bow.
