More Hawaii action from the 808 state!
 

I've got tons of yak fishing video footage for pelagics from the past few weeks I'm starting to go through and edit, here's one I made last night! Aloha and enjoy! :reeling:

Great video. Please explain the harpooning of the fish before you gaff them. Do you hit them in the spine or head to stun them?

Yep! For some reason the fish doesn't get as nuts compared to a gaff! I usually try to stone them in the brain on the first shot! But most of the time I dispatch a fish with my bat, most of us here in Hawaii use it, we call it a "kage" it works great and some guys only use the kage instead of a gaff! I use both tho, I like to sink my gaff into its head right after the kage shot!!! Hate to try and gaff a large fish trashing next to me and miss, putting a hole in the side of my yak! IMHO it's easier to pull up a 50+ pound fish with a gaff in my yak too!

Mahalo!

Thanks for sharing. Next deployment I'm heading out your way. I'll take some leave and fly over to the big island. Looks like fun.

Simply Awesome. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Nice Bra! Time for move to the big island!:luxhello:
Thanks for sharing.

Cheeeeee Pono!!!! Big mahalo brothers!!!! Heres a vid of the 66# shibi I caught earlier this month, I slapped it together really quick lastnight! I tried doing the rewind playback feature and it didnt come out as good as I wanted but it's good enough, I'll be working on more vids tonight. I didnt realize my front camera was off during the entire fight, I'm glad I had the back camera on! lol It gets a lil crazy sometimes, wake up from nap, Grab pole, set hook, tighten up drap, reel up other line, turn on cameras! Sometimes I forget a couple things! haha main thing Is that I wake up from my nap, set that hook and land the fish! lol

:luxhello::notworthy::luxhello::notworthy:

great videos

Nice Video, is Kage & gaffing a tradition in Hawaii :confused:

:notworthy:

Not really a tradition, it's just how we like to land, secure and subdue these pelagics here in Hawaii.

Wow wahoo from a kayak!!! Really!! Awsome braddah!:luxhello:

Nice work. I have yet to try out my Kage.

Awesome all the way around!
Great fish and great videos. Very motivating indeed. So motivating that I went ahead and built my own kage. Haven't used it yet although it's been on a few trips. Can't wait though. Also, pronounce kage for me please. You did it once before in a previous post, but I want to make sure I'm saying it correctly.
Kah-gay is how I've been saying it. Spear just sounds so boring.
Again, thanks for the motivation.

awesome.... love fishing hawaii

Awseome!!! Yup that's how we say it here, I never leave land without mines! Lol I also feel a lot more secure with a kage being on my yak, if a frisky tiger comes along and tries something stupid than he'll get a lil taste of stainless steel in his nose! Haha, we've got tons of tigers here in Hawaii but most of them are just curious and harmless! The smaller ones ranging from 6-10 are usually more aggressive and The bigger 11-15 footers are lazy and usually just float around. Didn't really have to use my kage for that purpose yet but I feel like it would defiantly work if I had to. Now you gotta get out and bless that kage!!

Goodluck and tight lines bro!!! Go gettum!


Here's one of my favorite vids I made, probably cause its one of my favorite songs! lol it's an old vid I did when I just started to edit videos.

Aloha, KG

Another great video KG, and thanks for the pronunciation clarification.
I'll be heading out tomorrow for a quick AM session, and will do my best to make you proud by putting my kage to use.
Good times ahead.

Badass video thanks for sharing
