Aloha, my portland friend Doug Howard visited for a couple of days. We ran into some willing mahi at a buoy out side of Hilo.

Doug got into the action. We picked up some small skippies and ahi at another buoy.

That afternoon Doug went out and shot a nice pig. Good shot got both lungs.

Doug had a hard time lifting it.

It was smiles all around and lots of steaks. I took Doug to the airport and then went out for a day of bonefishing. I had hooked a big bone earlier in the week with Doug, but the bone broke me off.

Well I got em, that is a 10lb bone on a 6wt TFO BVK rod with 12lb fluro tippet.

I was pretty stoked, even had my lucky Leinenkugel's hat on, I am the King! Hope you guys have a good summer, Mems.
