Green Turtle Take: Crime or Kau Kau? On Maui, a father and son who were lobster fishing were arrested for the crime of “take and possession” of a honu (Hawaiian green sea turtle, Chelonia mydas), a protected species. Turtle scientists, however, say what beach-goers observe, that the Hawaiian green sea turtle population has recovered. Should taking a green sea turtle be a crime for the police blotter, or should green sea turtles be food for the dinner table? On a Sunday at 6:50 a.m., a DOCARE officer on routine patrol reported seeing two men pulling their lobster net from Round Tables in the Waiehu area of Maui’s north shore. The officer found a dead honu entangled in a net placed in a metal tub. George Harvey Balazs, self-described as “global…

Aloha. I recently got back from a trip to Alaska. I went with my son, Luke Memmer. Joining us were Dr. Peter Matsuura and Dr. Tom Togioka. We were guided by Ron Doebler and his son, Tobias. We did a week-long float on the Alagnak River in the Bristol Bay area. We flew by bush plane to Nonvianuk Lake and set up the rafts. We traveled six days downstream and camped and fished along the way. We saw some bears along the trip and many signs on shore but had no dangerous encounters; still, we were ready with bear spray and firearms for protection. The fishing was good for rainbow trout and Arctic grayling. There were coho (silver) salmon in the system, and we caught and ate some for dinner.…

Aloha. I am from Wailuku, Maui, and the ocean is my passion. In July, my friend Akoni called me and asked if I wanted to fish. I said, “Shoots, we go.” Akoni and Russel picked me up. We loaded Akoni’s 4Runner and headed to the North Shore in Haiku, Maui. We got there between 11 and 12 o’clock. It was a nice day to be out holoholo with only good vibes. We had plenty of time to catch live bait. We got a few kupipi and hinalea to kayak out along with our tako. We set up camp and all the poles and cruised a little while. Then we paddled the lines out on the kayak. Akoni’s teammates Jake and Dawson joined us, and they paddled their lines out too.…

Sunday in Puna started off dark and rainy, so we decided to just cruise instead of hitting the mountain to hunt. As the day progressed, the sun came out and we had the perfect weather for an afternoon stroll. At around 4 p.m., I got a call from my friend Teddy Frias. The first thing he said was, “I’m waiting for you. Let’s go!” I immediately loaded up my two dogs and headed up to Mountain View to hunt on his acreage. Once I got up there, it was game on. We collared up the dogs and started the hunt. After walking about 400 yards, my two dogs, Zen and Zeus, aired and took off after catching wind of a hog. Zen and Zeus went out about 60 yards and…

Stuffings With little effort, a stuffing can change your fish dinner from ordinary to very special. Whether stuffed inside the fish, sandwiched between fillets or served as a side dish, stuffings are a great way to “stretch” your meal when you have unexpected guests, and to impress everyone over the holidays. Macadamia Nut Stuffing INGREDIENTS 6 tablespoons butter1 stalk celery, finely chopped (leaves can be used too)¼ cup onions, finely minced1 clove garlic, finely minced1 cup fine, dry bread crumbs½ teaspoon pepper1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped½ teaspoon dried thyme (or 3 sprigs fresh)¼ teaspoon nutmeg¼ cup parsley, finely chopped1 tablespoon grated orange rind½ teaspoon shoyu or sherry PREPARATION Melt butter in a skillet. Sauté the celery, onions and garlic until soft. Add remaining ingredients and stir until well mixed. Let…

Aloha. I wanted to share my story about how fishing helps me ease stress. On September 13, 2021, we laid my great-grandma, Rufina Bali Baloran, to rest. She was the backbone of our family; she raised a lot of us and made us the amazing adults we are today. On a nice Sunday, braddahs Mike, Mario Jon and I decided to have a quick whipping session. We were waiting for one of us to “break the ice.” Five minutes later, Braddah Mario hooked up to a pan-fry-sized ‘omilu he kissed and threw back after saying, “Call your older brothers!” Thirty seconds later, Braddah Jon repeated the same with a nice-sized ‘omilu. It was looking to be a promising day. About 20 minutes later, we decided to move on to the…

It was a beautiful day out on the water despite the brisk trades and gusts up to 20-plus knots. My crew for this trip was Scott Hazelbaker, whom I have known since junior high, his daughter Emily Hazelbaker, and their friend Hope Todd. They have lots of fishing experience in Alaska but have never caught any Hawai‘i pelagic fish. We trolled for several hours and encountered a couple of active bird piles with small aku breaking the water, but we had no luck. Discouraged, we decided to head in to try our luck with shallow-water bottom fishing. When we were halfway in, the starboard outrigger took a hit but the fish did not hook up. I told Scott to quickly turn around to try the same area. Sure enough, the…

You had a good day. You picked a good spot, set up early and successfully called in that wary gobbler. Your shot was on the mark, and the bird was bagged and tagged. Did you ever wonder how old your turkey was? Wildlife Biologist Bob Ericksen provided some insight into turkey age determination in a recent issue of Turkey Call magazine. Some believe a gobbler’s beard length is a good indicator of age: the longer the beard, the older the bird. However, data obtained from harvested juvenile banded gobblers suggest beard length is not a reliable age determinant. Leg spur length was found to provide a more consistent measure of gobbler age. Compiled spur length measurements from known-age eastern, Osceola, and Rio Grande subspecies are presented in the Age Determination…

2.78-lb Bullethead Parrotfish Aloha. We flew into Hilo to visit family for the weekend, and we all drove over to Kona to enjoy a beach day. My son and I jumped in the water with our three-prong for a quick dive session. After about 10 minutes in the water, we had two tako in the bag. We were in 15 feet of water when a school of pualu swam past us. Just behind them was an uhu. We dive bombed it and stoned it! Cheeee hoooo! My son asked what kind of fish this was. I told him it was a bullethead parrotfish and had him look it up as we drove back to Hilo so he could educate himself on the catch of the day. We flew back home…

Last month, our charter guest, Morgan Sanders of North Carolina, and our Captain and crew had an amazing afternoon on the GRANDER. This is one of the largest charter boats on Kauai at 45 feet. A day after the heavy winds moved on, after keeping us at port for over a week, we charged out of the harbor! Still facing some residual 15 knot winds and 5-foot seas, we weren’t sure how the day was going to go. Approaching the 1000 fathom line we found a decent bird pile, with birds diving. As we made our first pass, we hooked a triple mahimahi strike! We landed two of the three. We came back around and did a second pass, resulting in a double mahimahi hook up. We landed both of…

A new book: “Swimming with Fishes,” is a memoir by Bob Iversen, chronicling his 40-year Pacific fisheries career. It includes a collection of short stories of his experiences in Hawai‘i, as well as around the Polynesian islands and atolls (and one about Alaska). Some of the chapters about his military service tend to be written from a history perspective, mixed with personal anecdotes. If that is not your style, there are plenty of sea tales from Hawai‘i. Bob Iversen wrote this book hoping to inspire young people, as well as to record and share some of the history he witnessed and participated in with readers of all ages. His career and real life stories begin with his service in the Navy in the 1940s, and then it expands when he…
