Aloha from Hawaii, the island of Maui here
0:46
I'm here with my wife here just on a nice trip without the kids and I've been getting
0:51
out doing some fishing. I rented a kayak which was a lot of fun and very challenging actually to go fishing in
0:57
that by yourself. I actually ended up busting my rod out there
1:02
I snagged up on a reef and yeah anyway it's just a cheap telescopic rod so it's not a
1:07
big deal. Anyway yeah I've just been casting using a broken rod which you've probably seen or
1:11
about to see. Me catching from the shore, I've been doing a lot of shore fishing and had a lot of success
1:16
catching some little fish and had a little nice catch and cook there with a nice little
1:21
kind of perch. I believe they call it a Hawaiian flag, flag tail
1:27
Anyway it's part of the surf or perch family. It looks a lot like the surf perch that we catch back home in Vancouver
1:33
But anyway yeah let's see how it goes. We're going to do some fishing again from the shore here and let's get at her
1:39
Here's the setup. Some prawn, Irish floats, a couple of, where's the bait hook
1:57
There we go. Look at that guy, beauty
2:28
Just using the old float and shrimp. It's like the river sail
2:34
There we go, nice beautiful colors. This is an eater for sure
2:38
I think uh, what is that? I don't know but I'm eating it
2:48
This guy we can eat. Look at that
3:22
Look at the spines on those things. You want to touch that? Ah
3:39
Here we go. There we go
4:27
Number two, it's the bluefin. Yeehaw. Get this little sucker out you
4:35
Alright bubs. Beautiful fish. Okay, sammer down, sammer down. Look at that fish
4:43
It's a little bluefin jack. You can hear him grunting. Beauty. Woohoo, yeah
4:55
We can fight hard for little guys. Look at that. He's a little bit bigger than the other one
5:02
He's a little bit bigger than the other one. He's a little bit bigger than the other one
5:06
He's a little bit bigger than the other one. He's a little bit bigger than the other one
5:10
He's a little bit bigger than the other one. He's a little bit bigger than the other one
5:14
He's a little bit bigger than the other one. He's a little bit bigger than the other one
5:18
He's a little bit bigger than the other one. He's a little bit bigger than the other one
5:22
He's a little bit bigger than the other one. He's a little bit bigger than the other one
5:27
Come. There's another bluefin. Okay, bud
5:39
Good job. Hey, fight hard for that size
5:59
Holy moly. I downsized to about a size 10 hook. Way better hookups
6:05
And they're not swallowing it, because they're tiny fish, as you can see
6:09
They're not big. But man, they hit hard for like little fish
6:19
I'm trying to find a reef I'm trying to find a reef
6:23
about 50, 60 feet out or about deep. I'm trying to find any sort of structure
6:31
or something down below, dark, that I can track some fish on
6:35
So, we'll see how it goes. Stay tuned. Got a pretty basic bottom rig
6:55
Just like sturgeon fish, we're going to put a weight and we're going to sit right on the bottom
7:01
Just like so. Just like so. Just like so. Just like so
7:09
Just like so. Just like so. Just like so. Just like so
7:17
Just like so. Just like so. Just like so. Just like so
7:28
I've got a size 2 lot octopus hook. I think I, I wish I had a circle hook
7:32
for this sort of thing, but I don't have those. I'll try this out
7:54
I'm going to try and get this trigger fish here. Look at the size of that beast
8:02
Not bad, eh? There you go. There you go
8:24
That was ridiculous. That guy's mouth, it was in there so tight
8:34
Go in careful. Mask. Holy smoke. There we go
9:03
Said fish, lunch. I'm going to scale him
9:15
Alright, here we go with the fish. Scaled and gutted. I'm going to use some olive oil
9:23
Some local spice that we picked up at the octopus candy shop here in
9:27
Wailea, Kihei. This stuff is awesome. We added ahi tuna and scallops
9:33
last night. Put a little salt. Usually we put butter, but we don't have any butter
9:39
so we're just going to use olive oil. And said local beer
9:47
I'm just going to cut some little... ...little slits
10:03
to put some of the seasoning into. Pan. Get that going
10:15
Again, usually that would be butter. So, good impact of flavor of our fish here
10:21
No butter, olive oil. Bakers can't be choosers, right? Right, babe? Alright
10:30
Let's put just a little bit of salt here. Just a little bit on there
10:36
Little on there, little on there. I'm just going to go to town
10:40
on this stuff. Rub that in
11:00
Yes, sir. That's what's going on. Gentle rub. Let's just give her..
11:12
There we go. Okay, olive oil is hot. We're just going to throw this bad boy right in the pan
11:22
Down to medium heat. And let it fry. Stay in paradise
11:32
We're in Wailea, Maui. Alright, we'll check back when this is done
11:38
Alright, I got some rice. Little flake off here. First bite. Mmm. Mmm
11:54
Mmm, the skin is so good. Mmm, look at that. It doesn't look very good, but... Wow
12:08
That doesn't look like much. That volcano spice... Boy, that is good
12:18
I'm going to slap that onto this bed of rice and we're going to be good
12:26
Alright, we're getting a second opinion here. Feel free to grab some skin if you want to
12:31
Skin has the flavor on it. It's good, eh? Mmm, the volcano
12:39
Oh yeah, that volcano spice there. That skin is like... Good. It's very flaky, actually
12:55
Mmm. Mmm. That's all that's left
13:27
Mmm
