Lots of action out on the Hickam Flats - and I finally caved and fished with bait (cut squid). I caught seven papio - fun little guys, nothing to get an elevated heart rate over (although a bigger fish did test my knot tying skills and took off with a good sized piece of squid and a new lip ring).
What do we have here???? Do you see the 'long' piece of the rock hanging out? That's no rock... small moray eel.
First of two "Moana" that I caught today
Another moray eel.
Here is the second Moana. These guys are decent fighters.
And the first Weke I have caught out here. This species in particular is said to cause the person that eats it to have hallucinations. I ate one back in DG not knowing the issue (and didn't have any nightmares), but this one was heavier (and I didn't feel like having uncontrolled hallucinations - or hallucinations in general) and I was in C&R mode today. It didn't like the fact that it got caught and was quite the flopper.
So the lesson learned today - use bait and catch fish (stop being a lure snob).
