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.

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.
