Casting with the Caldwells

Prolific ulua tagger Keith Caldwell takes his brother Kirk Caldwell fishing on the Big Island of Hawaii along with their friends.
Kirk Caldwell was Honolulu's managing director and interim mayor. But here on isolated shorelines, Kirk is just another local guy getting in touch with what really matters in life.

Keith took me under his wing when I was an Occupational Therapy intern at Hilo Hospital in 1986. We had some epic times spear fishing and playing soccer for the Hilo Shinkickers. He was a great host during my time on the Big Island. Would love to catch up with him.

What kind poles they was using when live baiting the oama??? I'm looking for a new setup!

[@AllxLegitx808]

How you guys set up your lines I set mine up with hook on top and led on the bottoms and it hard to caught fish cause it keeping getting stuck...

[@HawaiiGoesFishing]

Mostly oama. It's legal to catch them at night with a hand net. Just need a few for live bait. Hard to beat. Just make sure they're well aerated.

Damn! Nice moana kali!!!

[@HailiAdventures]

What kind of bait you used to catch that kupipi??

[@Puhislayer655]

If only I cAn go fishing with the Caldwell’s.

[@HawaiiGoesFishing]

BTW, a kid caught a yellowfin tuna more than 60 pounds with a method roughly similar to this.

[@locomojoboy2]

Where in Hawaii is this?

[@deuceduffield5069]

do you use a whole oama to catch the kupipi?

[@HawaiiGoesFishing]

The oama is used to catch moana and papio, and it's used whole. For kupipi you'd need a smaller bait.

Some large fish have been caught using that method. Some don't even use a pole, just a very large stick, about 30 feet long, heavy cord, and a hook that looks more like a gaff.
When it's time to hang a new bait, there's no need to pull the whole rig up. Retreive the clothespin, hook another live bait, and go.
If you've ever fished in Hawaii, there's a lot of fishing like this going on.
