Most of the photos are crap, pretty hard to not drop your camera in the water when you're in a kayak juggling a fish in a net and a fishing pole (I only dropped it in once!).

These are the ones I have uploaded to Photobucket. I'll check later if I have more decent ones. Some of you may have seen some of these before. They were all taken in a two year span while I was at college.

Hopefully within the next 6 months I'll be getting a shipment of some "wild" terrors, devils, jags, and 5 star generals from some friends still located on the island.

Sadly, I didn't get photos of the two best looking RD's I caught, a white with blood red and a red with black fins.

Enjoy, and be jealous. Very jealous. :D

My buddy Rambo. First guy I caught. Kept him for a year, then the airline wouldn't allow me to take him to WA with me. :(

I also shipped out 14 of the GT fry to Ohio. Hopefully they'll be monsters someday.

Hodgepodge. RD's, cons, jags, and Hemichromis elongatus I think.

It's still a long shot. I'll let you know. First, I need to get my fishing, non aquarium keeping buddies some kiddie pools or something to house fish in, then they have to actually go catch shippable fish (not going to be remotely possible till the water warms up, in April-May), and then I need to convince a LFS to package and ship them.

Thankfully you don't need a permit to ship fish out of Hawaii, just into.
 
where were you fishing for them? I LOVE the red on that midas!

Ah! teaching non fishing friends might be a tough one.

I dont think u need a permit. They are exotics and I'm sure they would be happy to get them out.
 
Yeah Jed, it'll be a crapshoot. I don't know anyone person there with all the necessary skills to get it all done.

I was fishing on Oahu, Hawaii. Several different locations.
