Honolulu, HI

Mahi Mahi

Coryphaena hippurus

The fastest-growing fish in the ocean and one of the most colourful. Mahi gather under weed lines and floating debris, travel in schools, and strike trolled baits and cast lures with almost no hesitation.

Yellowfin Tuna

Thunnus albacares

The 'ahi' of Hawaii and the glamour tuna of the Gulf and Baja — a fast, surface-feeding school fish that rewards anglers who read birds, currents and temperature breaks.

Blue Marlin

Makaira nigricans

The apex billfish — a blue-water giant of Hawaii's Kona coast and the Atlantic canyons. Most anglers meet one trolling big lures or live skipjack over deep structure.

Wahoo

Acanthocybium solandri

A lightning-fast, razor-toothed torpedo — 'ono' in Hawaii. Wahoo haunt reef ledges and current breaks and hit trolled baits at speeds few fish can match.

Skipjack Tuna

Katsuwonus pelamis

The little tuna with the striped belly — aku in Hawaii. Skipjack boil at the surface in huge schools, hit fast-trolled feathers, and make fine sport on light tackle.
