Went fishing on Kevin Nakamaru's Northern Lights yesterday. It was a retirement gift from my sister, Kai Memmer. They were classmates at HPA.



We went out and got bait, live opelu early and put them in the ikimai, live bait well. Went to the grounds and first drop Eric got this nice Uku, jobfish.



We then picked up some aku for live bait and worked the grounds. Had several takes and misses and one almost spooled my wife Joy on an aku rod, but finally got this nice shibi on a live opelu. Joy, my wife also got to fight one of these but the tax collector showed up and took a bite.



It was a fun day and lots of fish to cut up and share with friends. Kevin is an awesome captain, and Kai is a great sister to give me such a great gift for my retirement. If you ever are in Kona and looking for a charter give Kevin a call and go out for a day on Northern Lights.
