Sport fishing in Hawaii is incredible. Recently myself and several friends took the opportunity to go fishing while in Maui. Wow, did we have a blast.
It started early. Very early. Here we are at the dock, at 6am in the morning. Still dark. Some of us are still feeling the effects of too many drinks the night before. The only one with a clear head is my son. Can’t find a better bunch of friends.
Dawn out of Lahaina harbor. The seas were very calm. It was surreal.
Father and son. This is what memories are made of. Romeo rocks! His first trip fishing in the ocean.
Fish on! The battle begins. Old men against strong fish.
It is good to be young. The next-generation takes a seat to land his first ever Mahi Mahi.
Several beautiful Mahi Mahi (also called Dorado for those who fish Central American waters) and a Skipjack Tuna were brought in.

The day was beautiful, beyond words. The open ocean was uncharacteristically calm.
Success of the day. Fish, friendship, smiles, memories, and some really great sashimi (eaten fresh on the dock).
Much thanks to the team at Start Me Up Sportfishing in Maui. Captain John and first-mate Kepono did a great job in making the trip memorable and a success! Fair wind and calm seas. See you next time.
Best impromptu vacation EVER! Thank you for including us.
I loved the experience! its was fun and memorable. I felt so proud when I caught the mahi mahi.
looks like sooo much fun. it wouldnt be the same anywhere else becasue there it wouldnt be that much of a shame if one of you fell off the boat because of the warm waters and great viewqs
Sounds like a memorable trip! Maui is so beautiful!
Good times with close friends and family is priceless!
Love this! Reminds me of my own sport fishing adventure a few months ago in Maui :) https://steemit.com/travel/@goldmatters/goldmoney-in-maui-hawaii-part-6
Nice! That is a beautiful fish.
Damn thats a big f*cking fish :D
The biggest that I have seen was caught by a friend of my dad and was a 90 kilos (around 180-200lb) and he caught it with a speargun while freediving ;)
@mrosenquist Really very good post.
