Hail Mary Hawaiian salmon | plus the resident tiger shark and bottom fishing for uku (job fish)

Greg's channel    / @captgregbrown  

My friend and I head out in search of pelagic, but it proves to be pretty difficult day. After catching a ton of bait in the morning, both ballyhoo and opleu I set out my first live bait. After around 30 minutes I realized that a shark or a barracuda had bitten me off above my wire rig without me noticing. I must have been slacking off or something, but after this I decided to do some bottom fishing. My friend Greg had shown up a little later and hooked me up with some squid. After a few drops I managed to catch an uku or job fish and I was happy to avoid a skunking. Not long after the wind started picking up and a tiger shark swam right in front of my kayak. I was mostly unfazed by this from the last trip. After another hour and we made the decision to head in after my friend wade had ended up fighting a a tiger shark for 30 minutes. Before that he had been double hooked up, catching a huge bluefin trevally, and getting sharked on a yellowfin tuna. The wind had picked up even more, but as I headed in through 60ft I decided to do a hail mary with a dead opleu. I hooked it up on wire with a stinger and let it out to 100ft and started pedaling quickly hoping to draw a strike. To my surprise I actually got a bite and managed to stay hooked up. After a short battle I had a nice rainbow runner at the kayak. I was going to do a catch and cook with this one but got lazy and just made some sashimi out of both of the fish. This was filmed quite a while ago before this Covid 19 BS, but I hope you and your families stay safe.
