Got a call from Rob Provost of Grand Slam Fly Fishing www.grandslamflyfishing.com
who said that Conway Bowman would be in Hawaii filming
bonefish for the "Fly Fishing the World" TV show. Would it
be possible to take them peacock bass fishing?

Randall Sakai has sent me pictures of fished for blue shark
with Conway out of San Diego.
http://www.bowmanbluewater.com/. Conway also holds
an IGFA World Record for red fish. Yea, I could take them fishing...
FFtheW is one of my favorite TV shows. :lol:

It was a slow day for fly fishing peacock bass, but the ones
we caught were nice... a 1 3/4 and 4 1/2 pounder. A few under
a pound. The camera crew was happy with what they got.
Not nearly enough for a full show, but a nice little part of a
whole "Hawaii" show.

It was a real pleasure fishing with them. A special thanks
to Ron "Opy" Johnson for helping out with the camera boat.
These guys are real professionals, it's easy to see why
the show is so good.

Conway's first Hawaii peacock bass.

This is the 4 1/4 pounder. Conway took his time and the
camera guys got some great footage of a jumping fish.

Same fish... the way I pose a picture.
