This fish bit a strip of squid at sunrise and was released.

I bet they look good in a big school.

I've seen these fish mimic jelly fish, as a larger predator approaches; they go limp and really resemble floating jellies.

Reminds me of lookdowns.

Look like a cross b/w a lookdown and rooster fish. Looks interesting.

Are you allowed / is it possible to fish for Moonfish? That's one SW species I'd love to catch, them and the Ocean Sunfish!

There's no penalty for whatever should happen to bite on your line

Wailua Boy I miss Papio fishing. Never got lucky enough to hook an ulua, though

 

[Wailua Boy]

Yeah, you don't see the big uluas taken shorecasting as much as in the past but we still catch them bottom fishing at depth fairly regularly but my biggest fish taken shorecasting were back in high school. To be honest I don't fish for the big ulua too much now a days, once they are +60lbs they are usually hot(infected with ciguatera)@xraycer
