| 20 pound Bonefish? Hawaii’s Ohio Realize Darryl isn't a fly fisherman, but bear with me a moment. Fishing from his kayak around Oahu, Darryl. Has landed some nice size bonefish. Six and 7 ponders are a regular occurrence. This week on Molokai he noticed a large fish following his lure. The water was 3 feet deep and crystal clear. He stopped reeling and the fish took the bait right at his feet, a rod length away. Darryl estimated the oio (bonefish) to weigh around 12 pounds or larger. After several long runs the 16 pound test line cut on a coral head. Several local Molokai residents told him they had caught bonefish that size, even larger. One commercial fisherman told Darryl of catching a 20-pound bonefish. I know fly fisherman here in Hawaii who regularly catch 7 and 8-pound bonefish, and now I know there are larger fish out there just waiting for some lucky fly fisherman. Thanks corey |
