IGFA official applications are available by writing to Hawaii Fishing News, P.O. Box 25413, Honolulu, Hawaii 96825 So you finally did it. After years of trying you finally landed a world record sized fish. It wasn’t easy. He put up a hell of a fight. But you did it, and you didn’t violate a single one of the IGFA’s rules and regulations. Everything was done by the book. And now that the hard part is over, you open up a nice cold Oly, sit back, and relax. Right? Wrong. The hard part has just begun. Put down the Oly and get cracking, you’ve got a lot of work to do. First you must weigh the fish on a scale that has been checked and certified for accuracy within the last…

There are three excellent reasons for a Hawaii fisherman to fish Yellowstone Lake. First, we own it. Second, it offers sure-fire fishing for respectable sized cutthroat trout even for fishermen with no previous experience in fresh water fishing. And third, it is set in the midst of scenery so beautiful it will startle any visitor, even one for whom Hawaii’s natural wonders are routine. As a joint venture of all of us tax-paying citizens and operated through our landlord, the Federal Government’s National Park Service, Yellowstone Park represents a very nice investment of our loose change, and the management of the fisheries resource of the park is worth bragging about. In just a few hours one summer morning, my young son and I hooked 30 trout, all 14,15 and 16…

The meet area was the beach next to King’s Beach Fishing Access, Brenton Point area, Newport, R.l. The Hawaii No. 1 team, once again, placed first in this annual skindiving, spearfishing contest. The team, consisting of John Ernst, Bill Ernst and Dr. Terry Maas are based in California, but are members of Alii Holo Kai Dive Club in Honolulu. Since Hawaii won last year’s competition, they were eligible to enter two additional teams this year.

Looks as if 1 will have to devote a section to answers for our readers. This makes me happy because it shows that people are interested in spinning, and we all share the common bonds of lhe thrills and beauty of seeing nature at her best in a sport that so few people realize is so exciting. First off, I have an article that Chuck sent me on a 50½-lb ulua caught spinning in Miami. It’s a world record, but it doesn’t really count, as far as I’m concerned. It was caught on a skiff, which is a small boat. Along with this is a letter from one of our fellow spinners, H. Sakka. His question on it was, “Is it called a different name in that area?” and his…

We started out with the HIATT success in July, followed closely by Territorial’s Waianae Coast Trolling Tournament in August, then immediately on into Labor Day weekend tournaments, with club members traveling from all over the island to Pokai Bay. And just when everyone deserves to take a deep breath and relax a bit, here we go again into Chuck Machado’s Jackpot Tournament over in Kona. Many of the trailer boats are barging it to Kailua, while some of the rest of us will fish across with a pit stop in Lahaina (of course!). In October, there’s just enough time for three deep breaths before many Pokai Bay fishermen head out for Lahaina’s tournament with the Wahine jackpot hitting just two days before the regular Lahaina jackpot which was the “Grandfather”…

I know a lot of you have been to the other islands, and yet you probably haven’t fished them all. Well, don’t despair, because I haven’t either, but I would’ like to share some of my experiences in Kailua-Kona with you. I first visited Kona when I wasabout8or9years old. My dad would take the whole family during Christmas to visit Mom’s cousin, and we would stay for a week picking opihi, net throwing and bamboo fishing. This annual trip was done for the next 10 years without any thought of rod and reel in mind. It wasn’t until July of 1977 that l started to use my ultra-light tackle on this very abundant coastline. Up until this date my dad would be visiting Kona twice a year and would always…

Hawaiian game fish played hide and seek with Lahaina fishermen the month of August. The marlin were elusive most of the time with only a dozen being lured out of their hiding places. Their main hiding place was the 100 fathom ledge in the vicinity of the new fish aggregating buoy (the old “C” Buoy) anchored off the inside crater run approximately seven miles off Ukamehame Valley. The buoy was salvaged off Olowalu by Lahaina fishermen in June where it was found floating after it broke loose from its original mooring off Penguin Banks. The buoy was placed in its present position a month later after both the combined efforts of the Lahaina and Maalaea fishing communities to restore it and with the permission of the National Marine Fisheries Department.…
