Kahuku Ranch Thanksgiving camping trip

Went camping last weekend on a remote beach on the big island with family and friends for Thanksgiving weekend. It is a 2 hour 4x4 trail down to the ocean. Great diving, fishing and good times. We got lobster every day and caught fish and had a feast every night.

Luke and I went fly fishing on friday and we got a nice stringer of papio, moana and moana kali and some taape. Luke got the larger papio. I had a 15lb omilu hit and break me off.

I was able to get a small bonefish dunking some shrimp.

Not a big one, but still a bone, this is actually a pretty rare catch, a knife jaw bonefish.

Joy and Luke hiked with some friends to a cool spot called the Queen's bath. Luke likes to jump off cliffs and even got Joy to take a leap. I had to stay back at the camp site. I had a kidney stone hit on friday after the bonefish. The rest of my weekend was hell. It is a pretty painful experience passing a stone. Luckily my doctor was camping with us and I tried to take it easy. Next day was my birthday and I did catch another moana kali in between spasms.

Queen's bath is pretty awesome. The diving was awesome. My friends went on a night dive and got 16 bugs in the 3-6lb range.
One of my X-soccer players speared a 70lb ulua, that bent his shaft in a right angle. That was Jimmy's biggest ulua yet.

It was a great time for everyone but me. We drove out on sunday, and monday I was in the hospital on morphine. I am back in school waiting for the stone to pass. My family and friends were great and I am glad they had a god time. I would not wish a kidney stone on anyone. Hope you all had a good turkey day, Mems
