This is from the day we call "The Epic Day." Not only was the fishing good, the company was good too! Fished with Isaac "Rocket" Brumaghim (he took the pic), Mike "Mahi" Ichiyama, and Craig "Uso" Colburn.
At home with our mahis
See...I told you it was an epic day! =)
Whipping for papio off our rubber raft.
Dolphins always come by to visit when we're on the ocean.
Tag and release omilu on the first Green Lady.
Paddled to this little shallow outside reef for some whipping. Had to get out to land this little guy. Tag and release.
Picked up a plastic bag in the water and this baby tako was inside. I hope he didn't get eaten when we released him!
