Nearshore Fish Weight Angler Location Date
Surgeonfish, whitespotted 2 lbs 1.6 oz Desmond Dacalio Camba Punaluu Kau, Hawaii 06/17/2021

It was a hot, sunny Thursday afternoon in Pahala, Kau. Id just finished working on my Papas coffee farm, and my cousins and I decided to head down to Punaluu Black-sand Beach. When we got to Punaluu, we drove in the back toward Nenue Island. I walked along the beach with my 7-foot net that I got from Hana Paa Hawaii until I found the perfect spot. I watched the waves roll in as I waited for the perfect time to throw. Once that perfect wave came, I threw my net. I paipai (slapped) the water and then picked up my net. As I was picking up my net, I noticed an api (whitespotted surgeonfish). The excitement that came when I noticed how big the fish was made me smile from ear to ear. When I got home, I couldnt wait to show my mom and my sisters!
