My Most Epic Kayak Fishing Trip (Slammer Mahimahi, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo)

#kayakfishing #hobiefishing #fishing
With typical winter winds, swell, and rain making the usual grounds less than ideal, we headed to the leeward side of the Big Island in search of clear, calm waters. I wasn't expecting a lot because of the full moon, but I couldn't have been more wrong...

I've really wanted to re-edit this video because I feel like the original is way too bloated with boring footage. Now that I haven't filmed anything worth posting for a few weeks this was the perfect chance.
