6 1/2 lbs. at Lanikai - Omilu
(sp. Caranx melampygus)
While enjoying the summer Oama run, these predators risk the on shore waters with hopes of a meal. I had an experience of a lifetime battling this beauty on a clear, windless day. Ideal conditions enabled me to see its neon turquoise & purple streak against the white sandy bottom through crystal clear waters. I had to chase after him up to waist deep water to avoid being spooled on 6 lb. test as he made run after run.
