More Hawaii action from the 808 state!

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!
