Fishing in South Point

Went fishing in South Point. Caught pathetically tiny fish. I need to learn more tricks.

After a run of bad luck

I went fishing and came back empty-handed 4 times in a row. Finally the bad spell on me was lifted today with this colorful fish. We ate it with much gratitude.

Titan Triggerfish

Typical fishing day. You never know if you can get lucky.
And I did!

After searching online, I found out it was Titan Triggerfish. It grows up to 30 inches long. I should probably have released this small one (8 inches) but I didn't know! It ended up on our dinner plate, and it was yummy!

Dejavu

I was going through old pictures on my PC today, and came across this shot, taken at Newport Aquarium in Kentucky around March 2005. Little did I know back then that I was going to move to Hawaii and see somebody catch this fish before my eyes.

It's called Broomtail, notorious for stealing bait off the hook. I'd like to catch one of these sometime. Fingers crossed!

Another spot, another fish

My guru and I went to try out a new spot. I caught a couple of new faces, all too small to take back home. All I need is one mature-sized fish and I'm done for the day!

Another catch

Caught the same fish on another day. A bit smaller. It's shiney when it's caught, then turns to grayish black.
