Kayak Fishing Anyone?

Great picture of you with the mahi-mahi - if I hadn't known it was you I would swear that was Ernest Hemingway.

LOL! That isn't me bro, it's a guy from the big Island, the one they call "Hawaii". He goes out fishing on his kayak a lot and does very well at it.

I guess fishing is better over there because here in Kauai, the only things I've caught are little fish called Papio. Nothing compared to him. In fact I had better luck fishing while I was in California. I guess I don't know how to catch them here.

But if you've noticed, I have a better looking kayak! Reminds me of those people who come out on the tennis court looking like a pro but can't hit the ball. Har-har!

Sorry Kauaiguy for the mistake. that is a big mahi-mahi. Around April-June is our peak season for this species but our Indian Ocean mahi-mahi do not reach the size of your Pacific variety. The biggest I've caught was 7 1/2 kg and that is considered big here. We normally use 15 lb line for mahi-mahi.

WOW, Never seen that kind of fish before! Paddling kayak is very tiring. Fighting with the fish to bring it to the surface on a kayak would be even harder I suppose.

This is a common fish here in Malaysia and is called 'belitung' in Malay and 'golok' in our Kedah dialect. The reason you don't see them is because they are almost never seen in the markets because our local people do not like to eat them. But I can assure you that the flesh is delicious especially if you make fish and chips with the fillet.

Haha I never knew that the fish exist in Malaysia either! I must be living under a rock Or maybe because the fish looks so bizarre to be eaten? I will try to eat it if I have a chance.
