Hey Stan, sorry for your loss. First Mike and now Hari. RIP Hari :( Condolences to Hari's family and friends.

Hey seabass, any chance you are on SCSF by the nickname "frombigisland"? Noticed your location is SOCAL. :wink:

We were so lucky... the right team, in the right place, at the right time.
We were able to travel and fish all around the Pacific Basin and every
island in the Hawaiian chain from Midway to South Point on the Big Island.
Meeting so many wonderful people who shared their love of fishing with us...

Everyone will always remember his smile and "Hay Gang, Hari here".

What a great guy. Watched his show for years. What a great show. A true all-time hall-of-fame Hawaii personality. Harry - He was truly entertaining, fun and a pleasure to watch - his presentation of the fishing/cooking show was thoroughly enjoyable. He is remembered with fondness by many.

Mr. Kojima was a legend/icon in Hawaii TV. I remember watching him when I was a kid and together with Stan, they really helped me develop an interest in fishing. Roland Martin, Bill Dance, Orlando Wilson, Stan, and Hari...those guys were my idols! The other guys (besides Mike Sakamoto) really pale in comparison to Hari and Stan. I don't even watch the current local show(s) anymore. I also have never seen anyone cut a 20 lb. tuna with speed, skill, and precision like Hari. Incredible!
R.I.P. Mr. Kojima. You will be missed.
