You tend to get sick and tired of butchering fish.

Since we're revamping the show, we're having everyone in the group have distinct custom fishing rod colors for each member as well as getting rid of the old guides from 7-10 years ago. Thanks to American Tackle for creating the "Ring-Lock" technology as well as having titanium frames that don't rust. Rods will be done one at a time. There's 7 more to be flex coated.

Now that we got everyone's attention with the 11" papios that we gave to an Auntie who requested them, we can start filming again. We'll be filming our pet Uluas at an unspecified fishing location and show you how to tag them. The Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) is still handing out tags for Ulua* (orange tags¹) but not Papio** (yellow tags) anymore due to director of the DLNR not wanting to fund the Ulua Tagging Project even though it has gone through 3 generations of taggers. Whoever has Papio tags still, please tag papio 8"+. The information is still useful to the DAR. Phone number to get Ulua Tags (orange) is: (808) 587-0593 ask for Annette Tagawa.

* Ulua are 10 lbs or more.
** Papio are under 9 lbs or less.
¹ To be double tagged because Ulua tend to scratch the tags off of their body.

Memories. 😂

Trolling along outside of Kahe Powerplant, we thought it was an Ono. Someone was scared.
