¶
OR YOUR DAD WAS
IN THE HISTORY, YOU KNOW.
LIKE HERE --
CAPTAIN COOK.
THIS PLACE WAS NAMED
AFTER A PRETTY FAMOUS CAPTAIN.
ONE OF MY FAVORITES,
YOU KNOW.
HE, LIKE, CHARTED
HAWAII, COOK ISLANDS.
HE CHARTED ALASKA.
HE NAMED COOK, INLET
WHERE I WAS BORN, AFTER HIM.
SO... SO WE SHOULD
GO DOWN THAT AREA
AND CHECK OUT,
LIKE, LITTLE LOCAL SPOTS.
DO SOME MORE INVESTIGATING,
YOU KNOW?
YEAH.
A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION
HERE AND THERE
CAN GO A LONG WAY.
YEAH, I'M WITH YOU.
LET'S GO LEARN SOME STUFF.
MY NAME IS JOSH HARRIS.
BUDDY!
MY DAD WAS CAPTAIN PHIL HARRIS,
A LEGEND ON THE BERING SEA.
YOU CAN'T HEAR ME
BETTER THAN ME.
I'M JUST A SMILING
[BLEEP] JACK.
WHEN HE DIED, HE LEFT ME
A MYSTERY --
CHARTS COVERED IN NOTES
HE MADE YEARS AGO WHILE
EXPLORING THE WATERS OF HAWAII.
AND NOW WITH THE HELP OF MY
BUSINESS PARTNER, CASEY McMANUS,
AND BAD ASS
LOCAL FISHERMAN, JEFF SILVA...
THIS COULD BE WORTH
$2,000.
ONE FISH, TWO GRAND.
I'VE COME TO THE KONA COAST
TO DISCOVER WHAT MY DAD
WAS PLANNING.
I GOT ONE SHOT OF
GETTING THIS GUY IN THE BOAT.
IT'S MASSIVE. OH, YEAH.
THERE'S SOMETHING
ON THIS BITCH
THAT'S A BIG [BLEEP].
AWESOME.
UGH.
OH, MY GOSH.
YEAH! WOW.
Josh: MY DAD CONQUERED
ONE FISHERY IN HIS LIFETIME,
BUT WITH THIS CHART.
WAS HE LAYING THE GROUNDWORK
TO MASTER ANOTHER?
-NICE!
-THAT'S WHAT CASEY,
JEFF AND I ARE HERE TO FIND OUT.
ONE ERROR, ONE SLIP,
ONE MISTAKE, IT'D BE THE END.
NIGHT FISHING -- THIS IS
PROBABLY WHEN WEIRD [BLEEP]
IS GONNA HAPPEN.
¶
¶
WHAT YEAR DID YOU AND PHIL
REALLY START HANGING OUT TIGHT?
OH, MAN, LONG TIME AGO,
25 YEARS AGO.
HE WAS DEFINITELY
A WALKING PIRATE.
PHIL HARRIS WAS A GREAT
FISHERMAN, I LOOKED UP TO HIM.
WELL, THE SUN SHINES ON A
DOG'S ASS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.
SO I GUESS IT'S
MY TURN.
JUST GETTING WARMED UP.
[ CHUCKLES ]
HE'S, YOU KNOW, WHAT DO YOU CALL
THAT -- MENTOR?
SEE YA, MAN, YOU LOOK GOOD, YOU
LOOK GOOD, BROTHER.
LET'S GO OUT AND DO IT.
GET IT DONE AND, UH...
WE'LL SHOW HIM HOW IT'S DONE.
SKIPPER STYLE OVER HERE.
LIVING, MODERN-DAY PIRATE.
THAT'S YOU, TOO!
YOU TWO ARE TWO PEAS IN A POD.
AS JONATHAN HAS JOINED UP
WITH CASEY AND I,
HE'S BEEN HELPING US LOOK AT
THE ISLAND
AND THE CHARTS, THE WAY THAT,
PROBABLY, MY DAD WOULD'VE.
JUST LOOK AT THE FLOWERS.
IT'S JUST AMAZING, ESPECIALLY
WHEN YOU WALK OUT IN THE MORNING
IN YOUR BOXERS ON THE BALCONY.
IT'S PERFECT.
I DON'T KNOW WHY,
BUT I'VE ALWAYS --
I'VE ALWAYS IMAGINED HEAVEN
IS, LIKE,
LIKE, YOU'RE
WALKING ON CLOUDS,
LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE WAY UP.
YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING.
I THINK WHEN YOU WALK OUT
TO THE EDGE OF HEAVEN,
YOU SEE
SOMETHING LIKE THAT,
I CAN SEE WHAT MY DAD
LOVED IT OUT HERE.
YEAH.
SO RIGHT NOW, CASEY, JOHN, AND I
ARE HEADED TO A PLACE NAMED
AFTER A LEGENDARY
EXPLORER, CAPTAIN COOK,
THAT JOHN THINKS DAD WOULD
HAVE ABSOLUTELY LOVED.
YOU KNOW, PHIL BROUGHT YOU
TO HOMER BEFORE.
THAT'S WHERE CAPTAIN COOK --
IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL
IN COOK INLET THAT HE NAMED THAT
PLACE AFTER HIMSELF.
SO HE NAMED THIS PLACE ALSO --
THIS IS WHERE HE ENDED UP
DYING, DOWN HERE,
RIGHT DOWN THE HILL.
RIGHT DOWN
BY THAT MONUMENT.
Josh: HOPEFULLY IN TALKING TO
LOCALS HERE
WE CAN LEARN MORE
ABOUT THIS HERE FISHERY.
BETTER UNDERSTAND IT
ON A GRASSROOTS, OR, WELL,
I GUESS A GRASS SKIRTS
KIND OF LEVEL.
¶
ALL RIGHT.
-HONKIN' IT UP.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
I CAN IMAGINE YOUR DAD
HANGING OUT DOWN HERE, MAN.
DUDE,I COULD TOO.
A LOT OF HAPPY PEOPLE.
¶
DUDE -- DONKEY BALLS!
DONKEY BALLS!
THAT'S A PHIL PLACE.
LET'S GO IN THERE?
CAN'T SAY "DONKEY BALLS"
WITH A STRAIGHT FACE.
HOW'S IT GOIN'?
VERY WELL.
WHAT EXACTLY IS A DONKEY BALL?
MACADAMIA NUT COVERED IN LOTS
AND LOTS AND LOTS OF CHOCOLATE.
-REALLY?
-HAVING HILLSTRAND HERE
HAS JUST BEEN AWESOME,
HE -- HE REALLY HELPS US
UNDERSTAND
AND KIND OF SEE THE WORLD
THROUGH PHIL'S EYES.
DONKEY BALLS.
YOU CAN'T SAY THAT WITH
A STRAIGHT FACE, CAN YOU?
[ LAUGHS ]
YOU KNOW, WE'RE FOLLOWING IN
PHIL'S FOOTSTEPS HERE,
THE MORE LOCALS WE MEET,
THE MORE FRIENDS WE MAKE,
THE MORE WE LEARN
ABOUT THE FISHERY HERE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
OUT HERE?
MY DAD WAS A FISHERMAN
UP IN ALASKA
AND WE FOUND THIS OLD CHART
THAT HE HAD OF HAWAII.
SO WE'RE HERE CHASING DOWN
A DREAM ON MY FATHER'S.
OH, COOL!
WELL, THERE'S
A FELLOW NAMED DREW
WHO KNOWS A LOT ABOUT
FISHING IN THIS ISLAND.
HE'S PRETTY GOOD GUY
TO KNOW
REALLY? OKAY.
HE HAS A FRUIT STAND.
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, I GUESS
THAT'S WHERE OUR NEXT STOP'S
GOING TO BE.
GO DOWN AND FIND DREW.
WE'RE GONNA GO SEE DREW.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR THE INFORMATION.
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, WE'VE OFFICIALLY
EXPERIENCED DONKEY BALLS.
AND THEY ARE GOOD.
THE JOURNEY CONTINUES.
DUDE, THESE LOCKS,
YOU PUT THE BACK YOUR ARM
ON THERE ON THAT LOCK,
IT SUCKS IT IN.
OH, [BLEEP]!
SUCKS THE SKIN
OF BOTH SIDES OF MY ARM
RIGHT INTO THE WINDOW.
WELL, PHIL USED TO PINCH
THE BACK OF YOUR ARMS.
YEAH.
[BLEEP]
HE'D BE PINCHIN' THE BACK OF
YOUR [BLEEP] ARM.
'BOUT RIGHT HERE.
YEAH! YEAH, [BLEEP]!
[BLEEP]
MY DAD,
HE WAS A PEOPLE'S PERSON.
[ LAUGHTER ]
PISS ME OFF.
IT'S A PACKAGE DEAL, PHIL --
WE NEED YOU AND THE BOAT,
SO...
I DEFINITELY KNOW MY DAD WOULD
USE LOCAL INTEL.
Man: SHE GOES, "AND THEN WHEN IT
GOES TO ADVANCE AGAIN,
IT'S GOING TO BREAK THAT UP.
THE HARD PACKS STUFF
WHEN IT COMES BACK DOWN AGAIN."
Josh:
HE WOULD HAVE LIKED TO LEARN
ALL THE TRICKS OF THE TRADE,
THE SECRET SPOTS --
THAT'S WHY HE WAS SO GOOD
ON THE BERING SEA.
YEE-HAW!
NOW, THAT'S ONE FULL CRAB POT.
WE'RE HEADED TO FIND
FRUIT-STAND DREW.
¶
GET SOME FRUIT.
-"COOK'S BOUNTY."
-HOW WE DOIN', GUYS?
COOK'S BOUNTY FRUIT STAND.
ALOHA, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
I'M DREW.
NICE TO MEET YOU, DREW.
JONATHAN. JOSH. I'M CASEY.
WELCOME.
HOW ARE WE DOING? JOSH.
COOK'S BOUNTY.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS ALL GOT HERE?
SOME JAMS, JELLIES,
HONEYS, DRIED FRUITS.
YOU EVER MONKEY AROUND
WITH FISHING OUT HERE?
I DID --
BACK IN THE EARLY '80s,
I USED TO GO WITH A BOAT CALLED
THE SEA GENIE
PICKING UP SOME BIG AHI AND ONO.
REALLY?
YOU KNOW,
TONIGHT IS A FULL MOON.
WHEN THE MOON IS FULL.
THE ANCIENT HAWAIIANS USED THIS
SPECIAL TECHNIQUE
CALLED IKA-SHIBI.
-REALLY?
PRETTY SURE THAT I'VE SEEN
THE TERM IKA-SHIBI
ON MY DAD'S CHARTS,
BUT I NEVER KNEW WHAT IT WAS.
THEY USED TO CARRY
THOSE TORCHES
AND THEY'D LIGHT UP THE TORCHES
AND LIGHT THE WATER UP
AND THEY WOULD COME
TO THE SURFACE
AND THEY WOULD GET
THE FISH FOR THE KING.
REALLY? I'VE LEARNED LITTLE BITS
LEFT AND RIGHT HERE.
RIGHT ON.
IT'S AMAZING.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
PLEASURE TO MEET YOU.
PLEASE COME BACK AND VISIT US
ANY TIME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
DON'T FORGET TO GO OUT THERE
AND CHUM THE WATERS
AT NIGHT DURING THE FULL MOON
WITH THE COCONUT LANTERN.
[ LAUGHS ]
BUM-BUM-BUM,
FISHIN' IN THE MOONLIGHT
ON THIS HOT IKA-SHIBI NIGHT.
¶
-Casey: ALL RIGHT.
-[ JOSH LAUGHS ]
THANK YOU FOR THE A/C.
¶
THERE WAS SOME SPOTS
ON MY DAD'S CHART
THAT SAID "IKA-SHIBI," SO THIS
IS MAKING SENSE TO ME.
I MEAN, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE FATE
WHEN IT'S THERE.
AND I'M EXCITED
TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
HEY, CUPCAKE.
WAS THAT
HIS LINE?
DAD WOULD JUST SAY IT TO PEOPLE
THAT ARE GETTING A LITTLE TUBBY.
WHAT'S UP, CUPCAKE?
[ LAUGHING ]
¶
THIS IS THE COOLEST, THANKS FOR
BRINGING ME OUT HERE, GUYS.
DUDE, IT WAS FUN, MAN.
I HAD SO MUCH FUN DOING THIS.
I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE, GUYS.
Josh: IT'S BEEN AWESOME
HAVING HILLSTRAND
IN HAWAII WITH US
THE PAST COUPLE DAYS,
BUT HE'S GOT TO HEAD HOME
TO HIS FAMILY NOW.
HAVING JOHNATHAN HERE IS,
LIKE, JUST ABOUT
THE NEXT BEST THING
AS HAVING MY DAD HERE.
YOUR DAD -- YOU DAD WOULD BE
SO PROUD OF YOU, MAN.
THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY --
AND I'M PROUD OF YOU.
THANKS, MAN.
HERE'S TO YOUR DAD,
AND HERE'S TO YOU GUYS.
THANKS.
[BLEEP] LOVE YA, PHIL.
I TALK TO PHIL EVERY DAY,
I TALKED TO PHIL WHENEVER I WANT
TO TALK TO PHIL.
I TALK TO HIM --
"HEY, PHIL."
AND I KNOW HE'S WATCHING HIS
SON, I KNOW HE'S PROUD.
AND THAT'S A FACT, JACK.
WELL, MAN, I --
THANKS FOR THE BEST VACATION,
THE BEST ADVENTURE,
AND YOU GUYS,
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT FISHING, MAN.
[ CAR HONKS ]
THAT'S MY RIDE, MAN.
I GOT TO GO, GUYS.
THAT'S IT?
LOVE YA, BROTHER.
YOU'RE A GOOD MAN.
THANK YOU FOR COMING UP.
CHUCK, BROTHER.
CHUCK, BROTHER.
'KAY, MAN.
TAKE 'ER EASY, BRO.
YOU GUYS HAVE FUN NIGHT
FISHING TONIGHT.
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.
CRAZY STUFF HAPPENS AT NIGHT
ON THE WATER.
HEY, HILLSTRAND.
KIND OF GIVE YOU THE BUG
TO GO BACK UP NORTH
AND DO SOME MORE FISHIN'?
MAYBE.
[ LAUGHS ]
HAVE TO SEE.
LOVE YOU, BROTHER!
SEE [BLEEP] --
YOU CAN TAKE A MAN
OUT OF THE BERING SEA,
BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE
THE BERING SEA OUT OF THE MAN.
HE'S GOT THAT LOOK LIKE...
HE'S ALL FISHY AGAIN.
REMEMBER, HE WAS LIKE,
"OH, I'M GONNA RETIRE,
GONNA BE WITH
MY GRANDDAUGHTER"?
NOW I SEE HIM. HE'S JUST, LIKE,
HE'S GOT THAT ITCHY BUG BACK.
WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT
THE LOCATION
WHERE WE'RE GOING TONIGHT
FOR NIGHT FISHING.
¶
LOOK AT THIS.
SO YOUR DAD WROTE IT DOWN THERE.
KONA NIGHT FISHING.
MY DAD WAS THE GUY THAT
WENT 24/7,
WHETHER HE WAS PLAYING
OR WORKING.
THESE ARE THE NIGHTS LIKE THIS
THAT LITERALLY DRAIN YA.
I MEAN, MY BODY
IS JUST TENSED UP.
Josh: I KNOW IF MY DAD
WAS TRYING TO LEARN
HOW TO SERIOUSLY MASS
THIS FISHERY,
HE'D DEFINITELY WANT TO LEARN
WHAT IT TAKES TO FISH
DAY AND NIGHT.
BOOM.
THERE'S FIVE DIFFERENT SPOTS
HERE THAT I'VE SEEN
WITHOUT LOOKING THAT HARD.
THERE'S LIKE THERE,
THERE, THERE.
THIS SAYS "IKA-SHIBI,
1 AHI, 140 POUND."
AND LOOKIT,
ALL THESE SPOTS HERE,
THEY HAVE THAT "IKA-SHIBI."
"IKA-SHIBI, NICE FISHING,
2 AHI, 180 POUND."
THIS ONE HAS "140 POUND AHI"
WRITTEN NEXT TO IT.
PHIL WASN'T JUST TALKING
TO LOCALS ABOUT
WHEN AND WHERE TO FISH.
IT LOOKS LIKE HE WAS ACTUALLY
LEARNING SOME DIFFERENT TIPS
AND TECHNIQUES TOO.
LOOK AT THIS: "IKA-SHIBI
SEEMS TO BITE BETTER
WITH THE MOON PHASE
GETTING BIGGER."
ASSUMING PHIL'S NOTATIONS
ON THE CHART ARE CORRECT,
IT SEEMS LIKE THE STARS
AND THE MOON
COULD BE ALIGNED IN OUR FAVOR.
SO WHAT DOES IT SAYIN'
THAT WE DO?
SAYS HERE, "AT TIMES PEOPLE
HAVE USED VARIOUS COLORS
OF LIGHTS
TO DANGLE BELOW THE BOATS,
COMBINED WITH HEAVY CHUMMING
TO LURE THE PREDATORS IN."
IT SAYS RIGHT THERE IT CAN BE
VERY PRODUCTIVE FOR BIG FISH.
SO MAYBE THEY'RE
COMING IN AT NIGHT.
YEAH.
THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST TIME
WE FISHED
THESE WATERS AFTER DARK.
I HEARD A STORY ABOUT ONE
OF THESE GUYS, NIGHTTIME FISH,
AND HE LEANED OVER THE SIDE
OF THE BOAT TO WASH HIS HANDS
AND A MAKO SHARK
WAS WAITING FOR HIM
AND CAME AFTER HIM,
TRIED TO GET HIM.
AND YOU'RE TELLING ME THIS NOW?
WELL, YEAH.
MY OLD MAN EXPERIMENTED
WITH FISHIN' IKA-SHIBI,
SO IF HE DID IT, I GUESS IT'S
DEFINITELY WORTH TAKING A SHOT.
YOU KNOW, IF THE OLD MAN DID IT,
THEN I GUESS WE GIVE IT A WHIRL.
ONE ERROR, ONE SLIP,
ONE MISTAKE.
COULD BE THE END,
COULD BE DEADLY.
NIGHT FISHING --
THIS IS PROBABLY
WHEN WEIRD [BLEEP]
IS GONNA HAPPEN.
HOLY [BLEEP], JOSH,
IT'S MASSIVE.
I'M ON, I'M ON.
REALLY BIG FISH, MAN.
[BLEEP] BEARING IN MIND.
THAT'S A BIG [BLEEP].
¶
HOW YOU GUYS DOING?
WE'RE GOING NIGHT FISHING.
WHAT DO WE NEED?
TONIGHT, CASEY AND I HAVE A DATE
WITH DESTINY
UNDER THE MOONLIT SKY.
HOPEFULLY WE'RE GOING TO LAND
SOME BIG, BEAUTIFUL,
BOUNTIFUL FISH.
IKA-SHIBI.
LIGHTS, YEAH.
TONIGHT WE'RE TRYING
THE HAWAIIAN WAY
OF NIGHT FISHING
CALLED IKA-SHIBI.
MY DAD ALSO EXPERIMENTED
WITH THIS WHILE HE WAS HERE.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME CASEY AND I
ARE GONNA TRY THIS
IKA-SHIBI FISHING.
YOU GUYS HAVE SOME IN STOCK?
YES, WE DO, WE HAVE
THREE DIFFERENT COLORS.
WHEN THE LOCALS FISH HERE
AT NIGHT,
THEY ACTUALLY DROP A GREEN LIGHT
IN THE WATER,
WHICH DRAWS A LITTLE BAITFISH
AND LITTLE BAIT SQUID IN.
AND THEN THE PREDATORS COME IN
LOOKING TO EAT THOSE.
GOTCHA.
SO WE GOTTA BUY TWO LIGHTS.
JUST GOT MORE EXPENSIVE.
OKAY.
SOMETIMES YOU GET TO
SPEND MONEY TO MAKE MONEY.
WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE?
HOW BIG ARE THEY?
THEY'RE RIGHT WHERE
ROGER'S STANDING.
THAT LITTLE TINY THING?
THAT'S IT?
YEAH.
REALLY?
SOMETHIN' I LEARNED FROM MY DAD,
NO MATTER WHERE YOU'RE FISHING,
YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE
THE RIGHT GEAR FOR THE JOB.
SOMETIMES THE RIGHT KIND OF GEAR
IS A THOUSAND-POUND CRAB POT.
¶
SOMETIMES...
SO YOU WANT GREEN FOR PREDATORS.
IT'S A LITTLE GREEN
LIGHT BULB ON A STRING.
ALL RIGHT. BEAUTIFUL, $46.77.
AND YOU COME ON SATURDAYS,
WE GOT FREE DONUTS.
OOH!
STARTING TOMORROW,
WE BETTER COME BACK HERE.
WHAT DAY IS IT?
TODAY'S TUESDAY.
THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH.
APPRECIATE IT.
ALL RIGHT! DUDE,
THAT MARLIN JERK IS AWESOME.
OH, YEAH,
MARLIN JERKY IS KILLER.
¶
¶
HEY, UH, JOSH AND I
WERE DOING SOME RESEARCH
ON THE CHART, WE WANT TO SHOW
YOU A COUPLE OF SPOTS
THAT WE THOUGHT
MIGHT BE FUN.
PASS THIS UP.
AFTER READING
A LITTLE NOTES ON IT.
YEAH, WHY DON'T YOU GUYS
JUMP ON UP.
ALL RIGHT,
WHAT WAS POPS UP TO?
WE ARE LOOKING AT, LIKE,
IKA-SHIBI SPOT HERE.
YOU KNOW, KONA IS A REALLY,
REALLY GOOD HOT SPOT
FOR NIGHTTIME FISHING.
AND CHANCES ARE, IS YOUR DAD
PROBABLY GOT SOME INFO
AND LOOKS LIKE
THEY KIND OF GAVE HIM
SOME GOOD SCOOPS.
DURING THE NIGHT.
LOTS OF TIMES,
THE AHIS,
THEY TRAVEL TOGETHER
WITH BIG PACKS.
YOU KNOW, THEY COULD BE IN PILES
OF HUNDREDS OF THEM.
AND YOU HAVE A REALLY
GOOD CHANCE OF AT LEAST
TRYING TO NOT JUST CATCH ONE,
BUT WE MIGHT BE ABLE
TO GET SOME NUMBERS.
SO I THINK WHEN
YOU GUYS ARE READY,
GET THE BOATS IN THE WATER
AND BOOGIE.
LET'S GO.
SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE.
¶
YOU RUNNIN'?
JOSH, PUT YOUR TRIM DOWN.
YOU GOTTA
TURN THE MOTOR ON.
WHAT'S THAT?
YOU GOTTA TURN THE MOTOR ON.
I KNOW, I'M JUST MAKING SURE
I'M UNHOOKED,
I DON'T WANT TO START
JERKING ON THE [BLEEP] THING.
TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO TRY OUT
NIGHT FISHING
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
I'M EXCITED TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
ALL RIGHT, CASE,
OUR FIRST NIGHT EXCURSION.
ONE ERROR, ONE SLIP,
ONE MISTAKE,
JUST FROM BEING A LITTLE BIT
FATIGUED, YOU KNOW,
COULD BE THE END,
COULD BE DEADLY.
YOU KNOW.
SO LIKE TO DO A QUICK PULE.
[ SPEAKING HAWAIIAN ]
...FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL DAY,
JUST PRAY THAT YOU ARE WITH ME,
YOU WATCH OVER MY FAMILY,
MY FRIENDS, MY LOVED ONES,
PEOPLE OF [ HAWAIIAN ],
WATCH OVER MY VESSEL
AND WATCH OVER MYSELF
OUT HERE.
GIMME SOME GOOD LUCK, GONNA TRY
TO CATCH A FISH.
[ HAWAIIAN ]
THAT'S IT.
IT'S ALL FUN AND GAMES NOW.
LET'S GO TRY TO GET SOMETHING.
THE BOYS ARE ALREADY
ON THEIR WAY OUT.
SO LET'S GO GET IT.
¶
Josh: THIS MIGHT
BE A LONG NIGHT,
BUT WE'RE GOING TO GET IT DONE.
MY DAD ALWAYS TOLD ME STICK
AND STAY AND MAKE IT PAY.
WHICH TO LAYMAN'S TERMS
WOULD BE NEVER GIVE UP.
Phil: TODAY'S
A "SMOKE SOME CIGARETTES,
DRINK LOTS OF CAFFEINE" DAY.
THERE'S A LOT RIDING ON
THESE TRIPS.
I GOT TO STAY OUT HERE AND GET
SOME CRAB OUTTA THIS GEAR TODAY.
THIS IS A SPOT
ON THE CHART, MAN.
WHO WILL SIT AND DRIFT
FOR JUST A SECOND
TO SEE WHICH WAY IT'S GOING.
Josh: THIS IS NOT OUR FIRST TIME
FISHIN' AT NIGHT BY A LONG SHOT,
BUT IT DEFINITELY IS THE FIRST
TIME BEING OUT IN THE DARK
ON A BOAT THIS SMALL.
I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS A BIG SHARK
UNTIL HE GOT CLOSE TO THE BOAT,
AND THEN IT WAS, "AAGH!"
GOT THIS HERE LIGHT.
APPARENTLY IT'S GOING TO BE
BLINDING BRIGHT HERE SHORTLY.
SO THIS IS SUPPOSED
TO ATTRACT SOME FISH.
MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE
ANY KNOTS.
¶
THAT LOOKS COOL.
LIGHT THE VOID.
WELL, I'M GOING
AFTER SOMETHING BIG.
NOW, I SUPPOSE WE JUST GOT TO
WAIT FOR THE FISH TO COME TO US.
¶
Casey: SO IT JUST TURNED
MY LIGHT ON.
ALREADY GOT BAIT
SHOWING UP ON THE SCREEN.
THIS IS ALL BAITFISH,
PROBABLY SOME SQUID,
SOME IKA STARTING
TO BUILD UP WITH THE PLANKTON.
IT'S A GOOD SIGN --
WE JUST SHOT UP,
AND WE'VE ALREADY MARKED
A COUPLE OF FISH,
SO IF I CAN GET MY BAIT
AND GET EVERYTHING SET UP
IN TIME, I'LL BE ABLE TO KEEP
THESE FISH UNDERNEATH MY BOAT
AND HOPEFULLY I CAN GET
ONE OF THESE GUYS TO BITE.
LITTLE BABY SQUID
AROUND THE LIGHT.
-IS THERE?
-YEAH.
SEE ALL THOSE LITTLE
WHITE SQUIGGLIES?
-OH, YEAH.
-BABY SQUID.
Josh: PART ONE OF
IKA-SHIBI FISHING
IS NOW A SUCCESS.
OUR LIGHTS
ARE ALREADY STARTING TO
ATTRACT LITTLE FISH;
NOW WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT
FOR THE BIG BOYS
TO SHOW UP AND FIND OUR BAIT.
[ BEEPING ]
THERE IS SOMETHING DOWN THERE.
THERE'S A MARK THERE,
A LITTLE ONE.
THAT'S, WHAT, 50?
THEY'RE GOING DEEPER.
TRY GETTING LOWER --
LET'S GIVE IT A WHIRL.
SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
[ REEL RATCHETING ]
WE'RE JUST GOING TO DRIFT
JUST WITH THE CURRENT
AND THE WIND;
WE USE THE LIGHT
TO DRAW PLANKTON
AND LITTLE SMALL BAITFISH.
THIS IS THE HANDLINE SETUP.
BASICALLY HOOK A PIECE OF BAIT,
THROW IT IN THE WATER,
AND IT BASICALLY JUST HANGS OFF
THE SIDE OF YOUR BOAT.
IKA-SHIBI NIGHT FISHING --
EVERYTHING OUT THERE IS DARK.
SO YOU'RE TURNING LIGHTS ON.
YOU'RE ATTRACTING BAIT
TO THE BOAT.
YOU'RE FLINGING
CHUM IN THE WATER.
YOU'RE KIND OF CREATING
YOUR OWN ECOSYSTEM AT NIGHT.
WE JUST THREW SOME PALU
IN THE WATER.
WE JUST THREW
OUR FIRST LINE OUT.
SO WE'RE DOWN HERE,
SO WE'RE GOOD.
FISH SEES THE LIGHT,
SEES THE BAIT,
SEES ALL THE CHUM IN THE WATER.
YOU'VE GOT LINES IN THE WATER.
COULD BE REALLY GOOD FISHING.
MOON'S FULL,
EVERYTHING'S ADDING UP
FOR SOMETHING FOR US TO HAPPEN.
WE JUST GOT TO GET A BITE
SO WE CAN'T REALLY DO
ANYTHING ELSE.
WE'RE JUST A WAITING GAME
AT THIS POINT.
CASEY: MY ASS IS HURTIN'.
[ SPLASHING ]
HOLY [BLEEP]! JOSH, COME
LOOK OVER THE SIDE REAL QUICK.
HOLY [BLEEP].
WHALE SHARK, AND IT'S A MASSIVE.
¶
HOLY [BLEEP] JOSH, COME
LOOK OVER THE SIDE REAL QUICK.
HOLY [BLEEP].
THAT THING'S HUGE.
OH, IT'S A --
[BLEEP] WHALE SHARK,
AND IT'S A MASSIVE.
WOW.
THE WHALE SHARK IS
THE LARGEST FISH IN THE OCEAN.
CRAZY, THAT THING'S
THE SIZE OF THE BOAT.
THE WHALE SHARK,
TO THE HAWAIIANS,
HAS BEEN A SYMBOL OF GOOD LUCK
AND PROSPERITY.
I WAS FALLING ASLEEP
ABOUT THREE SECONDS AGO,
AND THEN I HEAR THIS LITTLE --
THAT THING, THAT'S WAY COOL.
AND THAT'S KIND OF
WHY I WANTED ONE ON MY ARM.
LIKE THREE DAYS LATER,
WE GOT A WHALE SHARK
NEXT TO THE BOAT?
THIS IS THE WEIRDEST THING
IN THE WORLD.
HERE, LITTLE BUDDY.
-HE'S SMILING AT YA.
-HE'S WINKING.
HE WANTS TO SAY HI.
YOU KNOW, IT'S PRETTY RARE
TO SEE ONE OF THESE THINGS.
AND IT KEPT COMING AROUND
TO HANG OUT WITH US.
LIKE, IT DIDN'T JUST, LIKE,
"OH, LOOK, THERE'S A GREEN LIGHT
IN A BOAT," AND LEAVE.
THAT MEANS THE GREEN LIGHT
WORKS BECAUSE THAT GUY
CAME AROUND TO EAT
ALL THE LITTLE ZOOPLANKTON.
YEAH.
HOPE THIS WHALE SHARK'S
A GOOD OMEN.
IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S TAKING OFF
THERE, JOSH.
THANKS FOR HANGING OUT,
SHARK BUDDY.
¶
CHOPPING UP A LITTLE BIT
OF BAIT HERE.
CHUM THESE LITTLE SUCKERS UP.
SOMETHING'S DOWN THERE,
AT LEAST KEEP IT ENTERTAINED.
I REMEMBER ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO
AS A CAPTAIN
ON A BIG CRAB BOAT,
AND I'M BACK TO BEING
THE BAIT BOY.
DAMN!
DECISIONS IN LIFE, HUH?
I DUNNO, I GUESS THERE'S
SUPPOSED TO BE
BIG SCHOOLS OF FISH THAT TRAVEL
AT NIGHT
AROUND THESE PARTS,
BUT RIGHT NOW,
THIS ISN'T EXACTLY
A DREAM RUN YET.
WONDER HOW JEFF'S DOING.
SO, OUT HERE, IKA-SHIBI FISHING,
IT'S 3:00 A.M.,
WE MARKED A COUPLE OF FISH,
WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY BITES YET.
I KNOW THAT
THERE'S BIG FISH AROUND.
WE JUST GOTTA JUST KIND OF STICK
WITH OUR SYSTEM.
OUR BOYS ARE RIGHT OVER HERE.
YOU CAN SEE THIS RED LIGHT
THAT'S KIND OF BOBBING
IN AND OUT OF THE WATER
RIGHT THERE.
THAT'S CASEY.
AND THAT'S GOOD.
THEY'RE ABOUT THE DISTANCE AWAY
THAT WE WANT TO HAVE THEM.
THIS IS CASEY
AND JOSH'S FIRST TIME
OUT HERE AT NIGHT, IKA-SHIBI.
SO I'M GOING TO CALL THEM
AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE OKAY.
'CAUSE WHO KNOWS --
MAYBE THEY CAUGHT SOMETHING.
[ CELLPHONE RINGING ]
HEY, JEFF.
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
WELL, WE'RE WORKING HARD AT IT.
WE'RE CHUNKING A LITTLE BAIT
AND THROWIN' IT OVER.
HOW'S JOSH?
WELL, I HAVEN'T CAUGHT
A FISH YET,
SO I'D SAY NOT AWESOME.
YEAH, WHALE SHARK CAME UP TO
THE BOAT, THOUGH.
THAT WAS PRETTY COOL.
WOW. A WHALE SHARK?
THAT'S CRAZY.
ALL RIGHT, MAN, WELL,
STICK WITH IT,
IT'S TRIAL-AND-ERROR, MAN,
DON'T LET IT BEAT YOU UP.
I'LL LET YOU KNOW
IF SOMETHING HAPPENS,
BUT I'M JUST GONNA KIND OF WAIT,
MAN, JUST A WAITING GAME.
YOU KNOW THE DRILL.
WAIT IT OUT.
WE SET THE POTS,
NOW WE GOTTA LET 'EM SOAK.
ALL RIGHT, I GONNA PULL UP
AND CHECK THE BAIT.
I'LL GET HER BACK
DOWN IN A MINUTE.
-ALL RIGHT, BYE.
-BYE.
WELL, IT'S PRETTY.
PRETTY STUPID WE'RE NOT IN BED
SLEEPING.
[LAUGHING] SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING
MY DAD WOULD SAY.
I BET YOU IT'S
ON THE CHART SOMEWHERE.
EVERY TIME WE LEAVE THE DOCK,
WE LEAVE IN THE RED.
WE CAN'T GO BACK TO THE DOCK
WITH AN EMPTY BOX.
GOT TO PUT SOMETHING
IN IT.
ALL RIGHT, "WIKI-SHIBI"
WAS UNSUCCESSFUL.
YOU GOING WITH THE LITTLE
DRAGON, HUH?
YEAH, GONNA [BLEEP] GET.
BUNCH OF TIMES, ACTUALLY.
NIGHT FISHING
WAS A COMPLETE BUST FOR US.
BUT WE'RE NOT DONE FISHING YET.
WE DON'T GIVE UP THAT EASY.
GUESS WE'LL THROW OUT
A COUPLE OF ONO LURES.
-START TO LET IT OUT.
-SEE IF WE CAN'T GET LUCKY.
WE'RE GONNA
GO TROLL FOR ONO.
AND RIGHT NOW, WITH THE SUN
COMING OVER THE HILL,
IS THE PERFECT TIME
FOR THE BITE.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL WHITEFISH,
ONE OF THE MOST
FLAVORFUL FISH IN THE WORLD.
THESE THINGS HIT PRETTY HARD?
OH, YEAH.
THEY HIT REAL HARD.
SOMETIMES THEY COME OUT
OF THE WATER.
PRETTY RARE,
BUT I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN.
Josh: WHATEVER IT TAKES,
WE'RE DEFINITELY NOT GOING BACK
TO THE DOCK EMPTY HANDED.
HERE COMES THE SUN, LOOK AT
THAT, IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.
YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO...
YOU GOT 25 AND I'LL GO 40.
OKAY.
HOOK'S IN THE WATER.
¶
WHAT I'M DOING NOW IS
I'M USING MY RECORDER,
I'M USING MY FISH FINDER,
I'M LOOKING FOR BAIT BALLS
AND STUFF LIKE THAT SO THAT
WE CAN TRY TO GET OVER THEM.
SUN'S COMING UP,
SO I'M GOING TO GO
BACK TO THE BASICS,
HUNT FOR SIGNS OF LIFE,
LOOK FOR BIRD PILES, BAITFISH.
I'VE GOT TO CATCH A FISH.
I'M GOING TO GRIND IT OUT.
SO DECIDED TO THROW
SOME LURES, HOOK SOME LIVE BAIT.
I'M DONE WAITING FOR A FISH
TO COME TO ME.
IT'S TIME TO GO FIND THEM.
I'M GONNA DRAG A BAIT AROUND
HERE FOR A LITTLE BIT,
AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET A BITE.
WE'RE MARKING SOME FISH,
NOT A LOT,
BUT WE JUST GOT
TO KIND OF STICK OUR GUT
AND TRUST IN WHAT WE'RE DOING.
AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET A BITE.
WHO KNOWS?
WHO KNOWS WHAT WE'LL FIND?
¶
THE SUNRISE.
THAT'S BITCHIN', HUH?
¶
WE GOT A BUNCH OF BAIT THAT'S
KIND OF STARTING TO COME OVER
TO THE BOAT --
YOU CAN KIND OF SEE IT
KIND OF JUMPING OUT HERE.
YOU CAN SEE THIS BAIT PILE
RIGHT HERE.
THESE ARE BIGGER FISH THAT'S
PUSHING THIS BAIT PILE UP.
SO IT'S SHOWING THAT
THERE'S BIGGER FISH AROUND.
THEY JUST HAVEN'T BIT YET.
[ REEL RATCHETING RAPIDLY ]
ALL RIGHT,
WE'RE TIED ON SOMETHING.
DUNNO HOW BIG IT IS,
IT'S ACTING WEIRD.
DIDN'T TAKE A WHOLE LOT OF LINE.
I DON'T KNOW
IF IT'S A REAL BIG FISH
OR HE'S JUST NOT HOOKED RIGHT?
OH, YEAH, IT'S AN AHI,
IT'S A NICE ONE.
LOOKS LIKE HE'S ABOUT
MAYBE 60, 70 POUNDS.
HE'S FIGHTING
REALLY WEIRD, THOUGH.
THIS IS A VERY, VERY NICE FISH.
I GOT ONE SHOT
GETTING THIS GUY IN THE BOAT.
SEE WHAT HAPPENS HERE.
SUN IS JUST COMING UP.
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BITE
WHEN THE SUN COMES UP.
I DON'T KNOW [BLEEP].
I'M OUT HERE RIGHT NOW.
CASEY WENT DOWN, WE DID ALL
THE NIGHT FISHING,
THAT WASN'T VERY SUCCESSFUL.
IKA-SHIBI FISHING SUCKED.
NOW I'M TRYING TO CATCH MY
FIRST ONO.
¶
[ REEL CLICKING ]
HEY!
WHAT'S THAT? ARE WE ON?
CASEY! CASEY?
[ SNORING ]
CASEY?
CASE?
CASEY?
[ SNORING ]
CASEY? CASEY?! CASEY?
CASEY!
CASE?
[ SNORING ]
HUH?
SEEMS LIKE
I HAVE SOMETHING.
WHICH SIDE?
THAT SIDE.
ORE THIS ONE -- THIS ONE'S
DANCIN' HARD TOO.
YEAH, THAT'S IT.
YOU GOT ONE?
I THINK THERE'S ONE
ON THIS ONE TOO.
BRING THAT BITCH IN.
NICE JOB, JOSH.
GO OVER THROUGH
THE HONEY PILE, HUH?
I GUESS SO.
GOT US A DEVIL!
GO FIGURE.
CASEY GOES TO BED EARLY
AND JOSH COMES HOME WITH TWO.
[ BOTH LAUGHING ]
OH, YEAH.
THIS IS A VERY,
VERY NICE FISH.
WE'VE GOT A LONG, LONG,
LONG NIGHT SHIBI,
SO WE DIDN'T REALLY PICK
ANYTHING UP AT THE NIGHT,
SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN
KIND OF MAKE UP FOR IT.
I GOT ONE SHOT OF GETTING
THIS GUY IN THE BOAT.
HE'S KIND OF
ACTING KIND OF WEIRD.
¶
[ SNAP ]
OH, MY GOSH!
THAT WAS A GOOD SIZED FISH, MAN.
THAT WAS LIKE AN 80, 90 POUNDER.
WE JUST LOST GOOD SIZE AHI
RIGHT BY THE BOAT.
NOT GOING TO LIE, IT STINGS.
STINGS FOR SURE.
HE DID A FUNKY LOOP --
LOTS OF TIMES
WHAT THOSE GUYS DO
IS ONE LAST EFFORT
WHEN THEY MAKE A WEIRD TURN,
THEY'LL SHAKE THEIR MOUTHS TWO
OR THREE TIMES
WITH THEIR MOUTH OPEN --
LIKE THAT.
AND THEY'LL SPIT THE HOOK OUT.
THAT'S A ROUGH ONE.
THAT'S A TOUGH ONE TO SWALLOW.
BUT IT'S PART OF FISHING.
YOU KNOW,
YOU GOT TO SHAKE IT OFF
AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET
ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY HERE.
BROUGHT THAT FISH RIGHT
UP TO THE BOAT,
BUT HE HAD OTHER PLANS.
GAVE ME A HIGH FIVE WITH
HIS SICKLE
AND SWAM AWAY.
OH, YEAH. HE'S PISSED.
YEAH, THEY GET PISSY.
THESE ARE MEAN [BLEEP] FISH,
TOO,
SO WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO IS
YOU'RE GONNA
BRING IT RIGHT UP TO ME
AND I'LL LEADER HIM UP,
AND THEN WE'RE GONNA
GAFF HIS ASS.
HERE WE ARE, THE FIRST ONO!
¶
NICE JOB, BUDDY, KEEP CRANKING,
RIGHT UP HERE, GOOD.
HELL YEAH!
GET ME THE OTHER GAFF.
WELL, YOU GOT ANOTHER ONE
TO REEL IN TOO.
¶
THAT'S A DAMN NICE FISH.
A DOUBLE, BUDDY!
AFTER BEING OUT
ALL NIGHT INTO THE MORNING,
NOT GETTING EVEN A BITE,
IT FEELS PRETTY DAMN GOOD TO NOT
ONLY HAVE ONE FISH ON LINE,
BUT TWO.
ANOTHER NICE ONE, HUH?
READY?
YEP.
ALL RIGHT.
TWO BEAUTES.
OKAY. PUT THE REST THE BAIT ON
THERE, WE'LL PUT
A FIVE GALLON BUCKET OF WATER
IN THERE, SLOSH IT OUT.
TURN RIGHT BACK AROUND.
GONNA GET SOME MORE?
WE'RE GOING TO GO RIGHT BACK
TO THE SAME SPOT.
GET 'EM WHILE THEY'RE HOT.
LO AND BEHOLD,
I TAKE A LITTLE NAP.
JOSH NAILS TWO ONO.
NICE JOB, JOSH.
IMPRESSIVE.
BEST DAMNED NAP I EVER
TOOK ON THIS BOAT!
I WAS LISTENING TO MUSIC, MAN,
CHARLIE DANIELS
IN MY HEADPHONES,
NEXT THING YOU KNOW, I HEAR,
¶ DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA ¶
¶ HE WAS LOOKING FOR A -- ¶
"CASEY!"
"CASEY!" I WAS LIKE,
I WASN'T THE DEVIL.
I LOOK OVER AND THIS WAS ONE'S
ALL, "ENH, ENH,"
AND THIS ONE STARTED DANCING
TO THE WALL.
"I THINK WE GOT TWO!"
OH.
THOSE ARE BIG ONO,
THOSE ARE NICE FISH.
THAT'S $500 WORTH OF ONO.
NOT BAD FOR A COUPLE
OF BOYS FROM ALASKA.
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]
WHAT'S HAPPENING, JEFF?
WE GOT A DOUBLE HOOKUP
ON ONO.
AWESOME, COOL.
GOOD JOB. GOOD JOB.
LANDED THEM BOTH --
THE BIG KIND, TOO.
WE GOT TO FIND A MARKET
FOR THEM, THEY'RE --
I MEAN, THEY'RE TOO LONG
TO FIT IN THE BOX,
THEY'RE TOUCHING BOTH ENDS OF
THE BOX.
THEY'RE BIGGER THAN A FOOTBALL
AROUND. THEY'RE NICE.
I'M ONLY A MILE AWAY.
I'M COMING.
ALL RIGHT, I'LL TEXT YOU
THE COORDINATES.
ALL RIGHT. SOUNDS GOOD.
ALL RIGHT.
SOUNDS GOOD.
WE'LL BE OUT THERE.
TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN CAPITALIZE
OFF THE SITUATION.
IT'S STILL EARLY.
AGAIN, WE HAVE HAD A LONG NIGHT.
WE JUST THREW
THESE LURES BACK.
WE GOT TO JUST KEEP
GRINDING IT OUT.
KEEP PRESSING FORWARD.
[ BEEPING ]
OH, YEAH. WE'RE MARKING.
YEAH, THERE'S A COUPLE OF THEM.
THERE IS SOMETHING
REALLY BIG DOWN THERE.
-FISH ON.
-YOU GOT ONE?
OH, YOU GOT A GOOD ONE!
THAT'S A GOOD ONE, ISN'T IT?
-THAT'S A GOOD ONE.
THAT'S A REALLY GOOD ONE.
THAT THING'S TAKING LINE.
OH, OH, OH, OH.
I BET YOU WE GOT AN AHI
THE WAY THAT HEAD'S SHAKING.
IT MAY HAVE TAKEN US ALL NIGHT,
BUT WE'RE FINALLY ON THE FISH.
OKAY, I'M GOING
ONE MORE CIRCLE.
HE'S GOING TO CRUISE.
NICE GAFF JOB, JOSH!
DUDE, YOU GOT IT RIGHT
IN THE SWEET SPOT.
THAT'S A 40 POUNDER.
YEAH.
NICE!
OH, JEFF'S GONNA BE HAPPY.
THINK WE'RE HAVING THE BEST DAY
OF OUR LIVES RIGHT NOW ALMOST.
FEELS GOOD. YEAH.
I MEAN, WE'RE ON IT TODAY.
I MEAN,
IT STARTED OFF LITTLE ROUGH,
BUT, TELL YOU WHAT, WE'RE REALLY
PICKING IT UP.
YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT
TO GRIND IT OUT.
YOU'VE GOT TO WORK HARD
AND YOU'VE GOT TO TRUST
IN WHAT YOU DO.
[ REELING ]
I'M ON, I'M ON.
THIS IS DEFINITELY BIGGER
THAN THE LAST ONE
WE JUST HOOKED.
I HOPE IT'S
AN AHI.
NEED AN AHI BAD.
TOOK A LOT OF LINE.
HE'S RAN ABOUT 60, 70 FATHOMS OF
LINE OUT ON ME RIGHT NOW.
REALLY BIG FISH, MAN.
[BLEEP].
THAT'S A BIG [BLEEP].
I KNOW MY GEAR.
I KNOW MY REELS.
I KNOW MY RODS,
I KNOW MY DRAGS.
IT'S A BIG FISH.
LOOKS TO BE
ABOUT 150, 200-POUNDER.
THIS IS THE TIME
WHEN YOU REALLY,
REALLY GOT TO FOCUS,
YOU REALLY,
REALLY GOT TO PAY ATTENTION.
EVERYTHING YOU DO CAN BE COSTLY.
AHI IS WORTH WELL ABOVE
10 BUCKS A POUND RIGHT NOW,
SO EVERY OPPORTUNITY
THAT WE GET TO EVEN HOOK ONE
IS A CHANCE AT A BIG PAYCHECK.
SO IF YOU LOOK AT MY RECORDER
RIGHT NOW,
YOU CAN SEE THIS FISH
IS DOWN AT 50 FATHOMS.
THAT'S STILL A LONG WAY DOWN.
I GOT A LOT OF TENSION
ON THIS FISH.
I'M NOT BABYING THIS GUY.
I WANT TO GET THIS GUY
TO THE BOAT.
I GOT HIM UP TO ABOUT
35 FATHOMS.
I'M AT 20 FATHOMS.
I GOT COLOR.
HE'S [BLEEP] GREEN.
THIS GUY AIN'T GONNA WANT
TO COME IN.
I'M ALMOST TO MY LEADER.
THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.
WE'VE GOT TO HOOK UP.
WE DON'T GOT A FISH RIGHT NOW
IN A BOX. A LOT CAN HAPPEN.
¶
¶
HIS DAD?
[ LAUGHS ]
¶
HE'S DOWN THERE.
WE GOT A HOOK UP.
WE DON'T GOT A FISH RIGHT NOW
IN THE BOX.
A LOT CAN HAPPEN.
AFTER SPENDING ALL NIGHT
ON THE WATER WITH NO BITES,
I FINALLY GOT ONE,
AND IT'S THE BIGGEST FISH
I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE.
BIG [BLEEP] FISH.
¶
I'M GONNA
TAKE HIM RIGHT HERE.
¶
¶
¶
SHE'S BIG, BOY.
[GRUNTING ]
THAT'S AHI.
HOLY [BLEEP], THAT'S POSSIBLY
MY BIGGEST FISH THIS YEAR, MAN.
THINK HE [BLEEP] BROKE MY HAND.
SHE'S GOT TO BE AT LEAST 180.
SHE'S AS TALL AS ME.
¶
NEVER GETS OLD.
NEVER GETS OLD.
[ SPEAKING HAWAIIAN ]
¶
I THINK IT'S TIME TO GO HOME
AND SEE THE FAMILY.
¶
THAT'S MORE OUR STYLE,
THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD GO NIGHT
FISHING WITH.
NIGHT FISHING,
NOT SO GOOD.
MORNING FISHING,
OH, WE SLAYED IT.
IT WAS AWESOME.
STICK AND STAY, MAKE IT PAY.
THE SUN TRIUMPHANTLY RETURNS
FOR THE BOUNTY.
BOX FULL OF BOUNTY.
LAST NIGHT SUCKED.
BUT THE MORNING, AS THE SUN
CAME UP ENDED UP HOOKING UP WITH
NOT ONE BUT TWO HUGE ONO,
AND A NICE AHI.
WE'RE [BLEEP] HOME, MAN --
LONG DAY, MAN, LONG DAY.
SO TIRED,
I CAN'T EVEN COUNT.
SUPER STOKED, IT'S PROBABLY ONE
OF OUR BEST SUCCESSFUL DAYS
THAT WE BOTH CAUGHT FISH,
SO THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.
YOU KNOW, YOU CATCH FISH
IS ONE THING,
BUT YOU WANT TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE
CATCH FISH TOO,
'CAUSE THEY'RE OUT THERE
SPENDING THE TIME IN THE WATER
JUST LIKE YOU ARE.
SO I'M SUPER HAPPY, MAN.
I'M SUPER STOKED.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE BOYS.
YOU KNOW, WE GRINDED IT OUT
TODAY, BOTH OF US DID.
I'M TIRED,
BUT IT'S A GOOD TIRED,
IT'S A HEALTHY, TIRED.
Josh: GREAT FEELING
TO BE A WINNER TODAY.
Casey: THINK WE SHOULD
GUT AND GILL THAT AHI?
YEAH!
LOOK, MILLY!
CAN YOU WAVE TO DADDY?
CAN HE SEE YOU?
WAVE TO DADDY?
MY WHOLE FAMILY'S
DOWN HERE TODAY.
[ CHUCKLES ]
THAT'S AWESOME, MAN.
AFTER HAVING A REALLY
LONG TRIP, YOU KNOW,
20 PLUS HOURS OUT ON THE WATER,
NO SLEEP --
WHEN I'M COMING IN
AND THE FIRST THING I SEE
IS MY KIDS
AND MY WIFE FROM THE DOCK.
HI, SWEETIE.
HI, LOVE BUG.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW,
THAT'S JUST ICING ON THE CAKE
FOR A GREAT TRIP.
WHY DON'T YOU GUYS SET UP HERE,
I'M GOING TO PUT THE BOAT
ON THE TRAILER
AND I'M GOING TO BRING
THE BOAT AND BRING YOU GUYS OUT.
YOU GUYS CAN CHECK OUT
DADDY'S FISH, ALL RIGHT?
WHOO! SAY "DADA!"
WHAT A DAY!
HI, DADDY.
HOW YOU DOING?
GOOD, TIRED.
HEY! MWAH!
I'M BEAT, I'M ---
I'M PRETTY CROSS-EYED.
WHAT'S UP, HEROES?
SLAYED IT OUT THERE.
YOU GUYS SLAYED IT.
NO, NO, YOU SLAYED IT.
YOU GOT THE BIG ONE.
TEAMWORK!
TEAMWORK.
MAKES THE DREAM WORK.
WOW.
I THINK WE GOT A BIG FISH.
YOU WANT TO CHECK IT OUT?
I THINK YOU COULD
MAYBE FIT IN ITS MOUTH.
YOU KNOW, AT THIS POINT,
WE'RE NOT JUST FILLING
IN THE BLANKS ANYMORE.
WE'RE ACTUALLY STARTING
TO SUCCEED A LITTLE.
LET'S GO --
LET'S GO CHECK OUT THESE FISH,
MAN, I WANT TO SEE 'EM.
EVEN THOUGH IKA-SHIBI DIDN'T
QUITE PAY OFF FOR US,
WE STILL HAD
A PRETTY DAMN GOOD DAY.
I KNOW MY DAD
WOULD BE REALLY PROUD.
WE STUCK IT OUT TILL WE ENDED UP
LANDING SOME FISH.
WOW!
THAT GUY COULD EAT THIS GUY.
IT WAS WORTH IT MAN,
WE WORKED HARD.
WE GRINDED IT OUT OUT THERE,
AND, PHEW...
I'M GLAD TO BE IN.
I DON'T WANT TO BE --
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE OUT THERE
ANY LONGER THAN I HAD TO BE.
THAT'S FOR SURE.
YOU KNOW, SOMEDAY I'M GOING TO
COME HOME
WITH THE BIGGEST FISH.
BUT RIGHT NOW, I WANT A NAP.
I'LL SEE IN THE MORNING.
ALL RIGHT, MAN.
GOOD JOB, YOU GUYS.
LET'S GO GRAB A BEER FIRST,
AND THEN WE'LL SEE YOU
IN THE MORNING.
I THINK A BEER IS WELL DUE.
I'LL MEET YOU AT THE PUB.
I GOT THE BIGGEST FISH,
SO I'LL BUY YOU GUYS A BEER,
HOW ABOUT THAT?
HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT --
[ CROSSTALK ]
PAY MY RESPECTS.
I'LL PAY MY RESPECTS.
GOOD JOB TODAY, BOYS,
I'M PROUD OF YOU GUYS.
CATCH YOU IN A LITTLE BIT.
TAKE CARE.
¶
[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]
-HEY, MAN!
-WHAT'S GOING ON, BROTHER?
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS
FOR BRINGING ME OVER,
I HAD SO MUCH FUN.
WHAT A GREAT WEEK.
-WELL, THANK YOU.
THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN
HAVING YOU OVER HERE, BROTHER.
I'VE BEEN WANTING TO TALK TO
YOU GUYS,
BECAUSE IF YOU GET LIKE
A LITTLE AIRPLANE
AND YOU FLEW THE SHORELINE,
YOU CAN SEE WHERE EVERY FISH
IS LANDING, THEY CAN'T HIDE.
IT'S GOING TO SAVE YOU
A LOT OF TIME.
LIKE WE DO FOR HERRING
AND SALMON IN ALASKA?
THAT'S NOT A BAD IDEA.
YEAH.
I'VE BEEN WORKING
ON MY PRIVATE LICENSE.
WE COULD PROBABLY
RENT A PLANE IN KONA
AND GO OUT
AND LOOK FOR FISH.
WELL, WE'RE GOING TO GIVE
THAT A WHIRL NEXT.
I LOVE YOU GUYS, MAN.
KEEP ME POSTED
ON EVERYTHING, MAN, I'M OUT,
BUT KEEP ME POSTED, OKAY?
ALL RIGHT, BROTHER.
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
WE'LL GIVE HER A WHIRL,
LET YOU KNOW.
SEE YOU GUYS. BYE.
ALL RIGHT, LOVE YOU.
SEE YOU, BROTHER.

DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS
¶
OR YOUR DAD WAS
IN THE HISTORY, YOU KNOW.
LIKE HERE --
CAPTAIN COOK.
THIS PLACE WAS NAMED
AFTER A PRETTY FAMOUS CAPTAIN.
ONE OF MY FAVORITES,
YOU KNOW.
HE, LIKE, CHARTED
HAWAII, COOK ISLANDS.
HE CHARTED ALASKA.
HE NAMED COOK, INLET
WHERE I WAS BORN, AFTER HIM.
SO... SO WE SHOULD
GO DOWN THAT AREA
AND CHECK OUT,
LIKE, LITTLE LOCAL SPOTS.
DO SOME MORE INVESTIGATING,
YOU KNOW?
YEAH.
A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION
HERE AND THERE
CAN GO A LONG WAY.
YEAH, I'M WITH YOU.
LET'S GO LEARN SOME STUFF.
MY NAME IS JOSH HARRIS.
BUDDY!
MY DAD WAS CAPTAIN PHIL HARRIS,
A LEGEND ON THE BERING SEA.
YOU CAN'T HEAR ME
BETTER THAN ME.
I'M JUST A SMILING
[BLEEP] JACK.
WHEN HE DIED, HE LEFT ME
A MYSTERY --
CHARTS COVERED IN NOTES
HE MADE YEARS AGO WHILE
EXPLORING THE WATERS OF HAWAII.
AND NOW WITH THE HELP OF MY
BUSINESS PARTNER, CASEY McMANUS,
AND BAD ASS
LOCAL FISHERMAN, JEFF SILVA...
THIS COULD BE WORTH
$2,000.
ONE FISH, TWO GRAND.
I'VE COME TO THE KONA COAST
TO DISCOVER WHAT MY DAD
WAS PLANNING.
I GOT ONE SHOT OF
GETTING THIS GUY IN THE BOAT.
IT'S MASSIVE. OH, YEAH.
THERE'S SOMETHING
ON THIS BITCH
THAT'S A BIG [BLEEP].
AWESOME.
UGH.
OH, MY GOSH.
YEAH! WOW.
Josh: MY DAD CONQUERED
ONE FISHERY IN HIS LIFETIME,
BUT WITH THIS CHART.
WAS HE LAYING THE GROUNDWORK
TO MASTER ANOTHER?
-NICE!
-THAT'S WHAT CASEY,
JEFF AND I ARE HERE TO FIND OUT.
ONE ERROR, ONE SLIP,
ONE MISTAKE, IT'D BE THE END.
NIGHT FISHING -- THIS IS
PROBABLY WHEN WEIRD [BLEEP]
IS GONNA HAPPEN.
¶
¶
WHAT YEAR DID YOU AND PHIL
REALLY START HANGING OUT TIGHT?
OH, MAN, LONG TIME AGO,
25 YEARS AGO.
HE WAS DEFINITELY
A WALKING PIRATE.
PHIL HARRIS WAS A GREAT
FISHERMAN, I LOOKED UP TO HIM.
WELL, THE SUN SHINES ON A
DOG'S ASS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.
SO I GUESS IT'S
MY TURN.
JUST GETTING WARMED UP.
[ CHUCKLES ]
HE'S, YOU KNOW, WHAT DO YOU CALL
THAT -- MENTOR?
SEE YA, MAN, YOU LOOK GOOD, YOU
LOOK GOOD, BROTHER.
LET'S GO OUT AND DO IT.
GET IT DONE AND, UH...
WE'LL SHOW HIM HOW IT'S DONE.
SKIPPER STYLE OVER HERE.
LIVING, MODERN-DAY PIRATE.
THAT'S YOU, TOO!
YOU TWO ARE TWO PEAS IN A POD.
AS JONATHAN HAS JOINED UP
WITH CASEY AND I,
HE'S BEEN HELPING US LOOK AT
THE ISLAND
AND THE CHARTS, THE WAY THAT,
PROBABLY, MY DAD WOULD'VE.
JUST LOOK AT THE FLOWERS.
IT'S JUST AMAZING, ESPECIALLY
WHEN YOU WALK OUT IN THE MORNING
IN YOUR BOXERS ON THE BALCONY.
IT'S PERFECT.
I DON'T KNOW WHY,
BUT I'VE ALWAYS --
I'VE ALWAYS IMAGINED HEAVEN
IS, LIKE,
LIKE, YOU'RE
WALKING ON CLOUDS,
LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE WAY UP.
YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING.
I THINK WHEN YOU WALK OUT
TO THE EDGE OF HEAVEN,
YOU SEE
SOMETHING LIKE THAT,
I CAN SEE WHAT MY DAD
LOVED IT OUT HERE.
YEAH.
SO RIGHT NOW, CASEY, JOHN, AND I
ARE HEADED TO A PLACE NAMED
AFTER A LEGENDARY
EXPLORER, CAPTAIN COOK,
THAT JOHN THINKS DAD WOULD
HAVE ABSOLUTELY LOVED.
YOU KNOW, PHIL BROUGHT YOU
TO HOMER BEFORE.
THAT'S WHERE CAPTAIN COOK --
IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL
IN COOK INLET THAT HE NAMED THAT
PLACE AFTER HIMSELF.
SO HE NAMED THIS PLACE ALSO --
THIS IS WHERE HE ENDED UP
DYING, DOWN HERE,
RIGHT DOWN THE HILL.
RIGHT DOWN
BY THAT MONUMENT.
Josh: HOPEFULLY IN TALKING TO
LOCALS HERE
WE CAN LEARN MORE
ABOUT THIS HERE FISHERY.
BETTER UNDERSTAND IT
ON A GRASSROOTS, OR, WELL,
I GUESS A GRASS SKIRTS
KIND OF LEVEL.
¶
ALL RIGHT.
-HONKIN' IT UP.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
I CAN IMAGINE YOUR DAD
HANGING OUT DOWN HERE, MAN.
DUDE,I COULD TOO.
A LOT OF HAPPY PEOPLE.
¶
DUDE -- DONKEY BALLS!
DONKEY BALLS!
THAT'S A PHIL PLACE.
LET'S GO IN THERE?
CAN'T SAY "DONKEY BALLS"
WITH A STRAIGHT FACE.
HOW'S IT GOIN'?
VERY WELL.
WHAT EXACTLY IS A DONKEY BALL?
MACADAMIA NUT COVERED IN LOTS
AND LOTS AND LOTS OF CHOCOLATE.
-REALLY?
-HAVING HILLSTRAND HERE
HAS JUST BEEN AWESOME,
HE -- HE REALLY HELPS US
UNDERSTAND
AND KIND OF SEE THE WORLD
THROUGH PHIL'S EYES.
DONKEY BALLS.
YOU CAN'T SAY THAT WITH
A STRAIGHT FACE, CAN YOU?
[ LAUGHS ]
YOU KNOW, WE'RE FOLLOWING IN
PHIL'S FOOTSTEPS HERE,
THE MORE LOCALS WE MEET,
THE MORE FRIENDS WE MAKE,
THE MORE WE LEARN
ABOUT THE FISHERY HERE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
OUT HERE?
MY DAD WAS A FISHERMAN
UP IN ALASKA
AND WE FOUND THIS OLD CHART
THAT HE HAD OF HAWAII.
SO WE'RE HERE CHASING DOWN
A DREAM ON MY FATHER'S.
OH, COOL!
WELL, THERE'S
A FELLOW NAMED DREW
WHO KNOWS A LOT ABOUT
FISHING IN THIS ISLAND.
HE'S PRETTY GOOD GUY
TO KNOW
REALLY? OKAY.
HE HAS A FRUIT STAND.
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, I GUESS
THAT'S WHERE OUR NEXT STOP'S
GOING TO BE.
GO DOWN AND FIND DREW.
WE'RE GONNA GO SEE DREW.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR THE INFORMATION.
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, WE'VE OFFICIALLY
EXPERIENCED DONKEY BALLS.
AND THEY ARE GOOD.
THE JOURNEY CONTINUES.
DUDE, THESE LOCKS,
YOU PUT THE BACK YOUR ARM
ON THERE ON THAT LOCK,
IT SUCKS IT IN.
OH, [BLEEP]!
SUCKS THE SKIN
OF BOTH SIDES OF MY ARM
RIGHT INTO THE WINDOW.
WELL, PHIL USED TO PINCH
THE BACK OF YOUR ARMS.
YEAH.
[BLEEP]
HE'D BE PINCHIN' THE BACK OF
YOUR [BLEEP] ARM.
'BOUT RIGHT HERE.
YEAH! YEAH, [BLEEP]!
[BLEEP]
MY DAD,
HE WAS A PEOPLE'S PERSON.
[ LAUGHTER ]
PISS ME OFF.
IT'S A PACKAGE DEAL, PHIL --
WE NEED YOU AND THE BOAT,
SO...
I DEFINITELY KNOW MY DAD WOULD
USE LOCAL INTEL.
Man: SHE GOES, "AND THEN WHEN IT
GOES TO ADVANCE AGAIN,
IT'S GOING TO BREAK THAT UP.
THE HARD PACKS STUFF
WHEN IT COMES BACK DOWN AGAIN."
Josh:
HE WOULD HAVE LIKED TO LEARN
ALL THE TRICKS OF THE TRADE,
THE SECRET SPOTS --
THAT'S WHY HE WAS SO GOOD
ON THE BERING SEA.
YEE-HAW!
NOW, THAT'S ONE FULL CRAB POT.
WE'RE HEADED TO FIND
FRUIT-STAND DREW.
¶
GET SOME FRUIT.
-"COOK'S BOUNTY."
-HOW WE DOIN', GUYS?
COOK'S BOUNTY FRUIT STAND.
ALOHA, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
I'M DREW.
NICE TO MEET YOU, DREW.
JONATHAN. JOSH. I'M CASEY.
WELCOME.
HOW ARE WE DOING? JOSH.
COOK'S BOUNTY.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS ALL GOT HERE?
SOME JAMS, JELLIES,
HONEYS, DRIED FRUITS.
YOU EVER MONKEY AROUND
WITH FISHING OUT HERE?
I DID --
BACK IN THE EARLY '80s,
I USED TO GO WITH A BOAT CALLED
THE SEA GENIE
PICKING UP SOME BIG AHI AND ONO.
REALLY?
YOU KNOW,
TONIGHT IS A FULL MOON.
WHEN THE MOON IS FULL.
THE ANCIENT HAWAIIANS USED THIS
SPECIAL TECHNIQUE
CALLED IKA-SHIBI.
-REALLY?
PRETTY SURE THAT I'VE SEEN
THE TERM IKA-SHIBI
ON MY DAD'S CHARTS,
BUT I NEVER KNEW WHAT IT WAS.
THEY USED TO CARRY
THOSE TORCHES
AND THEY'D LIGHT UP THE TORCHES
AND LIGHT THE WATER UP
AND THEY WOULD COME
TO THE SURFACE
AND THEY WOULD GET
THE FISH FOR THE KING.
REALLY? I'VE LEARNED LITTLE BITS
LEFT AND RIGHT HERE.
RIGHT ON.
IT'S AMAZING.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
PLEASURE TO MEET YOU.
PLEASE COME BACK AND VISIT US
ANY TIME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
DON'T FORGET TO GO OUT THERE
AND CHUM THE WATERS
AT NIGHT DURING THE FULL MOON
WITH THE COCONUT LANTERN.
[ LAUGHS ]
BUM-BUM-BUM,
FISHIN' IN THE MOONLIGHT
ON THIS HOT IKA-SHIBI NIGHT.
¶
-Casey: ALL RIGHT.
-[ JOSH LAUGHS ]
THANK YOU FOR THE A/C.
¶
THERE WAS SOME SPOTS
ON MY DAD'S CHART
THAT SAID "IKA-SHIBI," SO THIS
IS MAKING SENSE TO ME.
I MEAN, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE FATE
WHEN IT'S THERE.
AND I'M EXCITED
TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
HEY, CUPCAKE.
WAS THAT
HIS LINE?
DAD WOULD JUST SAY IT TO PEOPLE
THAT ARE GETTING A LITTLE TUBBY.
WHAT'S UP, CUPCAKE?
[ LAUGHING ]
¶
THIS IS THE COOLEST, THANKS FOR
BRINGING ME OUT HERE, GUYS.
DUDE, IT WAS FUN, MAN.
I HAD SO MUCH FUN DOING THIS.
I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE, GUYS.
Josh: IT'S BEEN AWESOME
HAVING HILLSTRAND
IN HAWAII WITH US
THE PAST COUPLE DAYS,
BUT HE'S GOT TO HEAD HOME
TO HIS FAMILY NOW.
HAVING JOHNATHAN HERE IS,
LIKE, JUST ABOUT
THE NEXT BEST THING
AS HAVING MY DAD HERE.
YOUR DAD -- YOU DAD WOULD BE
SO PROUD OF YOU, MAN.
THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY --
AND I'M PROUD OF YOU.
THANKS, MAN.
HERE'S TO YOUR DAD,
AND HERE'S TO YOU GUYS.
THANKS.
[BLEEP] LOVE YA, PHIL.
I TALK TO PHIL EVERY DAY,
I TALKED TO PHIL WHENEVER I WANT
TO TALK TO PHIL.
I TALK TO HIM --
"HEY, PHIL."
AND I KNOW HE'S WATCHING HIS
SON, I KNOW HE'S PROUD.
AND THAT'S A FACT, JACK.
WELL, MAN, I --
THANKS FOR THE BEST VACATION,
THE BEST ADVENTURE,
AND YOU GUYS,
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT FISHING, MAN.
[ CAR HONKS ]
THAT'S MY RIDE, MAN.
I GOT TO GO, GUYS.
THAT'S IT?
LOVE YA, BROTHER.
YOU'RE A GOOD MAN.
THANK YOU FOR COMING UP.
CHUCK, BROTHER.
CHUCK, BROTHER.
'KAY, MAN.
TAKE 'ER EASY, BRO.
YOU GUYS HAVE FUN NIGHT
FISHING TONIGHT.
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.
CRAZY STUFF HAPPENS AT NIGHT
ON THE WATER.
HEY, HILLSTRAND.
KIND OF GIVE YOU THE BUG
TO GO BACK UP NORTH
AND DO SOME MORE FISHIN'?
MAYBE.
[ LAUGHS ]
HAVE TO SEE.
LOVE YOU, BROTHER!
SEE [BLEEP] --
YOU CAN TAKE A MAN
OUT OF THE BERING SEA,
BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE
THE BERING SEA OUT OF THE MAN.
HE'S GOT THAT LOOK LIKE...
HE'S ALL FISHY AGAIN.
REMEMBER, HE WAS LIKE,
"OH, I'M GONNA RETIRE,
GONNA BE WITH
MY GRANDDAUGHTER"?
NOW I SEE HIM. HE'S JUST, LIKE,
HE'S GOT THAT ITCHY BUG BACK.
WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT
THE LOCATION
WHERE WE'RE GOING TONIGHT
FOR NIGHT FISHING.
¶
LOOK AT THIS.
SO YOUR DAD WROTE IT DOWN THERE.
KONA NIGHT FISHING.
MY DAD WAS THE GUY THAT
WENT 24/7,
WHETHER HE WAS PLAYING
OR WORKING.
THESE ARE THE NIGHTS LIKE THIS
THAT LITERALLY DRAIN YA.
I MEAN, MY BODY
IS JUST TENSED UP.
Josh: I KNOW IF MY DAD
WAS TRYING TO LEARN
HOW TO SERIOUSLY MASS
THIS FISHERY,
HE'D DEFINITELY WANT TO LEARN
WHAT IT TAKES TO FISH
DAY AND NIGHT.
BOOM.
THERE'S FIVE DIFFERENT SPOTS
HERE THAT I'VE SEEN
WITHOUT LOOKING THAT HARD.
THERE'S LIKE THERE,
THERE, THERE.
THIS SAYS "IKA-SHIBI,
1 AHI, 140 POUND."
AND LOOKIT,
ALL THESE SPOTS HERE,
THEY HAVE THAT "IKA-SHIBI."
"IKA-SHIBI, NICE FISHING,
2 AHI, 180 POUND."
THIS ONE HAS "140 POUND AHI"
WRITTEN NEXT TO IT.
PHIL WASN'T JUST TALKING
TO LOCALS ABOUT
WHEN AND WHERE TO FISH.
IT LOOKS LIKE HE WAS ACTUALLY
LEARNING SOME DIFFERENT TIPS
AND TECHNIQUES TOO.
LOOK AT THIS: "IKA-SHIBI
SEEMS TO BITE BETTER
WITH THE MOON PHASE
GETTING BIGGER."
ASSUMING PHIL'S NOTATIONS
ON THE CHART ARE CORRECT,
IT SEEMS LIKE THE STARS
AND THE MOON
COULD BE ALIGNED IN OUR FAVOR.
SO WHAT DOES IT SAYIN'
THAT WE DO?
SAYS HERE, "AT TIMES PEOPLE
HAVE USED VARIOUS COLORS
OF LIGHTS
TO DANGLE BELOW THE BOATS,
COMBINED WITH HEAVY CHUMMING
TO LURE THE PREDATORS IN."
IT SAYS RIGHT THERE IT CAN BE
VERY PRODUCTIVE FOR BIG FISH.
SO MAYBE THEY'RE
COMING IN AT NIGHT.
YEAH.
THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST TIME
WE FISHED
THESE WATERS AFTER DARK.
I HEARD A STORY ABOUT ONE
OF THESE GUYS, NIGHTTIME FISH,
AND HE LEANED OVER THE SIDE
OF THE BOAT TO WASH HIS HANDS
AND A MAKO SHARK
WAS WAITING FOR HIM
AND CAME AFTER HIM,
TRIED TO GET HIM.
AND YOU'RE TELLING ME THIS NOW?
WELL, YEAH.
MY OLD MAN EXPERIMENTED
WITH FISHIN' IKA-SHIBI,
SO IF HE DID IT, I GUESS IT'S
DEFINITELY WORTH TAKING A SHOT.
YOU KNOW, IF THE OLD MAN DID IT,
THEN I GUESS WE GIVE IT A WHIRL.
ONE ERROR, ONE SLIP,
ONE MISTAKE.
COULD BE THE END,
COULD BE DEADLY.
NIGHT FISHING --
THIS IS PROBABLY
WHEN WEIRD [BLEEP]
IS GONNA HAPPEN.
HOLY [BLEEP], JOSH,
IT'S MASSIVE.
I'M ON, I'M ON.
REALLY BIG FISH, MAN.
[BLEEP] BEARING IN MIND.
THAT'S A BIG [BLEEP].
¶
HOW YOU GUYS DOING?
WE'RE GOING NIGHT FISHING.
WHAT DO WE NEED?
TONIGHT, CASEY AND I HAVE A DATE
WITH DESTINY
UNDER THE MOONLIT SKY.
HOPEFULLY WE'RE GOING TO LAND
SOME BIG, BEAUTIFUL,
BOUNTIFUL FISH.
IKA-SHIBI.
LIGHTS, YEAH.
TONIGHT WE'RE TRYING
THE HAWAIIAN WAY
OF NIGHT FISHING
CALLED IKA-SHIBI.
MY DAD ALSO EXPERIMENTED
WITH THIS WHILE HE WAS HERE.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME CASEY AND I
ARE GONNA TRY THIS
IKA-SHIBI FISHING.
YOU GUYS HAVE SOME IN STOCK?
YES, WE DO, WE HAVE
THREE DIFFERENT COLORS.
WHEN THE LOCALS FISH HERE
AT NIGHT,
THEY ACTUALLY DROP A GREEN LIGHT
IN THE WATER,
WHICH DRAWS A LITTLE BAITFISH
AND LITTLE BAIT SQUID IN.
AND THEN THE PREDATORS COME IN
LOOKING TO EAT THOSE.
GOTCHA.
SO WE GOTTA BUY TWO LIGHTS.
JUST GOT MORE EXPENSIVE.
OKAY.
SOMETIMES YOU GET TO
SPEND MONEY TO MAKE MONEY.
WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE?
HOW BIG ARE THEY?
THEY'RE RIGHT WHERE
ROGER'S STANDING.
THAT LITTLE TINY THING?
THAT'S IT?
YEAH.
REALLY?
SOMETHIN' I LEARNED FROM MY DAD,
NO MATTER WHERE YOU'RE FISHING,
YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE
THE RIGHT GEAR FOR THE JOB.
SOMETIMES THE RIGHT KIND OF GEAR
IS A THOUSAND-POUND CRAB POT.
¶
SOMETIMES...
SO YOU WANT GREEN FOR PREDATORS.
IT'S A LITTLE GREEN
LIGHT BULB ON A STRING.
ALL RIGHT. BEAUTIFUL, $46.77.
AND YOU COME ON SATURDAYS,
WE GOT FREE DONUTS.
OOH!
STARTING TOMORROW,
WE BETTER COME BACK HERE.
WHAT DAY IS IT?
TODAY'S TUESDAY.
THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH.
APPRECIATE IT.
ALL RIGHT! DUDE,
THAT MARLIN JERK IS AWESOME.
OH, YEAH,
MARLIN JERKY IS KILLER.
¶
¶
HEY, UH, JOSH AND I
WERE DOING SOME RESEARCH
ON THE CHART, WE WANT TO SHOW
YOU A COUPLE OF SPOTS
THAT WE THOUGHT
MIGHT BE FUN.
PASS THIS UP.
AFTER READING
A LITTLE NOTES ON IT.
YEAH, WHY DON'T YOU GUYS
JUMP ON UP.
ALL RIGHT,
WHAT WAS POPS UP TO?
WE ARE LOOKING AT, LIKE,
IKA-SHIBI SPOT HERE.
YOU KNOW, KONA IS A REALLY,
REALLY GOOD HOT SPOT
FOR NIGHTTIME FISHING.
AND CHANCES ARE, IS YOUR DAD
PROBABLY GOT SOME INFO
AND LOOKS LIKE
THEY KIND OF GAVE HIM
SOME GOOD SCOOPS.
DURING THE NIGHT.
LOTS OF TIMES,
THE AHIS,
THEY TRAVEL TOGETHER
WITH BIG PACKS.
YOU KNOW, THEY COULD BE IN PILES
OF HUNDREDS OF THEM.
AND YOU HAVE A REALLY
GOOD CHANCE OF AT LEAST
TRYING TO NOT JUST CATCH ONE,
BUT WE MIGHT BE ABLE
TO GET SOME NUMBERS.
SO I THINK WHEN
YOU GUYS ARE READY,
GET THE BOATS IN THE WATER
AND BOOGIE.
LET'S GO.
SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE.
¶
YOU RUNNIN'?
JOSH, PUT YOUR TRIM DOWN.
YOU GOTTA
TURN THE MOTOR ON.
WHAT'S THAT?
YOU GOTTA TURN THE MOTOR ON.
I KNOW, I'M JUST MAKING SURE
I'M UNHOOKED,
I DON'T WANT TO START
JERKING ON THE [BLEEP] THING.
TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO TRY OUT
NIGHT FISHING
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
I'M EXCITED TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
ALL RIGHT, CASE,
OUR FIRST NIGHT EXCURSION.
ONE ERROR, ONE SLIP,
ONE MISTAKE,
JUST FROM BEING A LITTLE BIT
FATIGUED, YOU KNOW,
COULD BE THE END,
COULD BE DEADLY.
YOU KNOW.
SO LIKE TO DO A QUICK PULE.
[ SPEAKING HAWAIIAN ]
...FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL DAY,
JUST PRAY THAT YOU ARE WITH ME,
YOU WATCH OVER MY FAMILY,
MY FRIENDS, MY LOVED ONES,
PEOPLE OF [ HAWAIIAN ],
WATCH OVER MY VESSEL
AND WATCH OVER MYSELF
OUT HERE.
GIMME SOME GOOD LUCK, GONNA TRY
TO CATCH A FISH.
[ HAWAIIAN ]
THAT'S IT.
IT'S ALL FUN AND GAMES NOW.
LET'S GO TRY TO GET SOMETHING.
THE BOYS ARE ALREADY
ON THEIR WAY OUT.
SO LET'S GO GET IT.
¶
Josh: THIS MIGHT
BE A LONG NIGHT,
BUT WE'RE GOING TO GET IT DONE.
MY DAD ALWAYS TOLD ME STICK
AND STAY AND MAKE IT PAY.
WHICH TO LAYMAN'S TERMS
WOULD BE NEVER GIVE UP.
Phil: TODAY'S
A "SMOKE SOME CIGARETTES,
DRINK LOTS OF CAFFEINE" DAY.
THERE'S A LOT RIDING ON
THESE TRIPS.
I GOT TO STAY OUT HERE AND GET
SOME CRAB OUTTA THIS GEAR TODAY.
THIS IS A SPOT
ON THE CHART, MAN.
WHO WILL SIT AND DRIFT
FOR JUST A SECOND
TO SEE WHICH WAY IT'S GOING.
Josh: THIS IS NOT OUR FIRST TIME
FISHIN' AT NIGHT BY A LONG SHOT,
BUT IT DEFINITELY IS THE FIRST
TIME BEING OUT IN THE DARK
ON A BOAT THIS SMALL.
I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS A BIG SHARK
UNTIL HE GOT CLOSE TO THE BOAT,
AND THEN IT WAS, "AAGH!"
GOT THIS HERE LIGHT.
APPARENTLY IT'S GOING TO BE
BLINDING BRIGHT HERE SHORTLY.
SO THIS IS SUPPOSED
TO ATTRACT SOME FISH.
MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE
ANY KNOTS.
¶
THAT LOOKS COOL.
LIGHT THE VOID.
WELL, I'M GOING
AFTER SOMETHING BIG.
NOW, I SUPPOSE WE JUST GOT TO
WAIT FOR THE FISH TO COME TO US.
¶
Casey: SO IT JUST TURNED
MY LIGHT ON.
ALREADY GOT BAIT
SHOWING UP ON THE SCREEN.
THIS IS ALL BAITFISH,
PROBABLY SOME SQUID,
SOME IKA STARTING
TO BUILD UP WITH THE PLANKTON.
IT'S A GOOD SIGN --
WE JUST SHOT UP,
AND WE'VE ALREADY MARKED
A COUPLE OF FISH,
SO IF I CAN GET MY BAIT
AND GET EVERYTHING SET UP
IN TIME, I'LL BE ABLE TO KEEP
THESE FISH UNDERNEATH MY BOAT
AND HOPEFULLY I CAN GET
ONE OF THESE GUYS TO BITE.
LITTLE BABY SQUID
AROUND THE LIGHT.
-IS THERE?
-YEAH.
SEE ALL THOSE LITTLE
WHITE SQUIGGLIES?
-OH, YEAH.
-BABY SQUID.
Josh: PART ONE OF
IKA-SHIBI FISHING
IS NOW A SUCCESS.
OUR LIGHTS
ARE ALREADY STARTING TO
ATTRACT LITTLE FISH;
NOW WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT
FOR THE BIG BOYS
TO SHOW UP AND FIND OUR BAIT.
[ BEEPING ]
THERE IS SOMETHING DOWN THERE.
THERE'S A MARK THERE,
A LITTLE ONE.
THAT'S, WHAT, 50?
THEY'RE GOING DEEPER.
TRY GETTING LOWER --
LET'S GIVE IT A WHIRL.
SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
[ REEL RATCHETING ]
WE'RE JUST GOING TO DRIFT
JUST WITH THE CURRENT
AND THE WIND;
WE USE THE LIGHT
TO DRAW PLANKTON
AND LITTLE SMALL BAITFISH.
THIS IS THE HANDLINE SETUP.
BASICALLY HOOK A PIECE OF BAIT,
THROW IT IN THE WATER,
AND IT BASICALLY JUST HANGS OFF
THE SIDE OF YOUR BOAT.
IKA-SHIBI NIGHT FISHING --
EVERYTHING OUT THERE IS DARK.
SO YOU'RE TURNING LIGHTS ON.
YOU'RE ATTRACTING BAIT
TO THE BOAT.
YOU'RE FLINGING
CHUM IN THE WATER.
YOU'RE KIND OF CREATING
YOUR OWN ECOSYSTEM AT NIGHT.
WE JUST THREW SOME PALU
IN THE WATER.
WE JUST THREW
OUR FIRST LINE OUT.
SO WE'RE DOWN HERE,
SO WE'RE GOOD.
FISH SEES THE LIGHT,
SEES THE BAIT,
SEES ALL THE CHUM IN THE WATER.
YOU'VE GOT LINES IN THE WATER.
COULD BE REALLY GOOD FISHING.
MOON'S FULL,
EVERYTHING'S ADDING UP
FOR SOMETHING FOR US TO HAPPEN.
WE JUST GOT TO GET A BITE
SO WE CAN'T REALLY DO
ANYTHING ELSE.
WE'RE JUST A WAITING GAME
AT THIS POINT.
CASEY: MY ASS IS HURTIN'.
[ SPLASHING ]
HOLY [BLEEP]! JOSH, COME
LOOK OVER THE SIDE REAL QUICK.
HOLY [BLEEP].
WHALE SHARK, AND IT'S A MASSIVE.
¶
HOLY [BLEEP] JOSH, COME
LOOK OVER THE SIDE REAL QUICK.
HOLY [BLEEP].
THAT THING'S HUGE.
OH, IT'S A --
[BLEEP] WHALE SHARK,
AND IT'S A MASSIVE.
WOW.
THE WHALE SHARK IS
THE LARGEST FISH IN THE OCEAN.
CRAZY, THAT THING'S
THE SIZE OF THE BOAT.
THE WHALE SHARK,
TO THE HAWAIIANS,
HAS BEEN A SYMBOL OF GOOD LUCK
AND PROSPERITY.
I WAS FALLING ASLEEP
ABOUT THREE SECONDS AGO,
AND THEN I HEAR THIS LITTLE --
THAT THING, THAT'S WAY COOL.
AND THAT'S KIND OF
WHY I WANTED ONE ON MY ARM.
LIKE THREE DAYS LATER,
WE GOT A WHALE SHARK
NEXT TO THE BOAT?
THIS IS THE WEIRDEST THING
IN THE WORLD.
HERE, LITTLE BUDDY.
-HE'S SMILING AT YA.
-HE'S WINKING.
HE WANTS TO SAY HI.
YOU KNOW, IT'S PRETTY RARE
TO SEE ONE OF THESE THINGS.
AND IT KEPT COMING AROUND
TO HANG OUT WITH US.
LIKE, IT DIDN'T JUST, LIKE,
"OH, LOOK, THERE'S A GREEN LIGHT
IN A BOAT," AND LEAVE.
THAT MEANS THE GREEN LIGHT
WORKS BECAUSE THAT GUY
CAME AROUND TO EAT
ALL THE LITTLE ZOOPLANKTON.
YEAH.
HOPE THIS WHALE SHARK'S
A GOOD OMEN.
IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S TAKING OFF
THERE, JOSH.
THANKS FOR HANGING OUT,
SHARK BUDDY.
¶
CHOPPING UP A LITTLE BIT
OF BAIT HERE.
CHUM THESE LITTLE SUCKERS UP.
SOMETHING'S DOWN THERE,
AT LEAST KEEP IT ENTERTAINED.
I REMEMBER ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO
AS A CAPTAIN
ON A BIG CRAB BOAT,
AND I'M BACK TO BEING
THE BAIT BOY.
DAMN!
DECISIONS IN LIFE, HUH?
I DUNNO, I GUESS THERE'S
SUPPOSED TO BE
BIG SCHOOLS OF FISH THAT TRAVEL
AT NIGHT
AROUND THESE PARTS,
BUT RIGHT NOW,
THIS ISN'T EXACTLY
A DREAM RUN YET.
WONDER HOW JEFF'S DOING.
SO, OUT HERE, IKA-SHIBI FISHING,
IT'S 3:00 A.M.,
WE MARKED A COUPLE OF FISH,
WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY BITES YET.
I KNOW THAT
THERE'S BIG FISH AROUND.
WE JUST GOTTA JUST KIND OF STICK
WITH OUR SYSTEM.
OUR BOYS ARE RIGHT OVER HERE.
YOU CAN SEE THIS RED LIGHT
THAT'S KIND OF BOBBING
IN AND OUT OF THE WATER
RIGHT THERE.
THAT'S CASEY.
AND THAT'S GOOD.
THEY'RE ABOUT THE DISTANCE AWAY
THAT WE WANT TO HAVE THEM.
THIS IS CASEY
AND JOSH'S FIRST TIME
OUT HERE AT NIGHT, IKA-SHIBI.
SO I'M GOING TO CALL THEM
AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE OKAY.
'CAUSE WHO KNOWS --
MAYBE THEY CAUGHT SOMETHING.
[ CELLPHONE RINGING ]
HEY, JEFF.
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
WELL, WE'RE WORKING HARD AT IT.
WE'RE CHUNKING A LITTLE BAIT
AND THROWIN' IT OVER.
HOW'S JOSH?
WELL, I HAVEN'T CAUGHT
A FISH YET,
SO I'D SAY NOT AWESOME.
YEAH, WHALE SHARK CAME UP TO
THE BOAT, THOUGH.
THAT WAS PRETTY COOL.
WOW. A WHALE SHARK?
THAT'S CRAZY.
ALL RIGHT, MAN, WELL,
STICK WITH IT,
IT'S TRIAL-AND-ERROR, MAN,
DON'T LET IT BEAT YOU UP.
I'LL LET YOU KNOW
IF SOMETHING HAPPENS,
BUT I'M JUST GONNA KIND OF WAIT,
MAN, JUST A WAITING GAME.
YOU KNOW THE DRILL.
WAIT IT OUT.
WE SET THE POTS,
NOW WE GOTTA LET 'EM SOAK.
ALL RIGHT, I GONNA PULL UP
AND CHECK THE BAIT.
I'LL GET HER BACK
DOWN IN A MINUTE.
-ALL RIGHT, BYE.
-BYE.
WELL, IT'S PRETTY.
PRETTY STUPID WE'RE NOT IN BED
SLEEPING.
[LAUGHING] SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING
MY DAD WOULD SAY.
I BET YOU IT'S
ON THE CHART SOMEWHERE.
EVERY TIME WE LEAVE THE DOCK,
WE LEAVE IN THE RED.
WE CAN'T GO BACK TO THE DOCK
WITH AN EMPTY BOX.
GOT TO PUT SOMETHING
IN IT.
ALL RIGHT, "WIKI-SHIBI"
WAS UNSUCCESSFUL.
YOU GOING WITH THE LITTLE
DRAGON, HUH?
YEAH, GONNA [BLEEP] GET.
BUNCH OF TIMES, ACTUALLY.
NIGHT FISHING
WAS A COMPLETE BUST FOR US.
BUT WE'RE NOT DONE FISHING YET.
WE DON'T GIVE UP THAT EASY.
GUESS WE'LL THROW OUT
A COUPLE OF ONO LURES.
-START TO LET IT OUT.
-SEE IF WE CAN'T GET LUCKY.
WE'RE GONNA
GO TROLL FOR ONO.
AND RIGHT NOW, WITH THE SUN
COMING OVER THE HILL,
IS THE PERFECT TIME
FOR THE BITE.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL WHITEFISH,
ONE OF THE MOST
FLAVORFUL FISH IN THE WORLD.
THESE THINGS HIT PRETTY HARD?
OH, YEAH.
THEY HIT REAL HARD.
SOMETIMES THEY COME OUT
OF THE WATER.
PRETTY RARE,
BUT I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN.
Josh: WHATEVER IT TAKES,
WE'RE DEFINITELY NOT GOING BACK
TO THE DOCK EMPTY HANDED.
HERE COMES THE SUN, LOOK AT
THAT, IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.
YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO...
YOU GOT 25 AND I'LL GO 40.
OKAY.
HOOK'S IN THE WATER.
¶
WHAT I'M DOING NOW IS
I'M USING MY RECORDER,
I'M USING MY FISH FINDER,
I'M LOOKING FOR BAIT BALLS
AND STUFF LIKE THAT SO THAT
WE CAN TRY TO GET OVER THEM.
SUN'S COMING UP,
SO I'M GOING TO GO
BACK TO THE BASICS,
HUNT FOR SIGNS OF LIFE,
LOOK FOR BIRD PILES, BAITFISH.
I'VE GOT TO CATCH A FISH.
I'M GOING TO GRIND IT OUT.
SO DECIDED TO THROW
SOME LURES, HOOK SOME LIVE BAIT.
I'M DONE WAITING FOR A FISH
TO COME TO ME.
IT'S TIME TO GO FIND THEM.
I'M GONNA DRAG A BAIT AROUND
HERE FOR A LITTLE BIT,
AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET A BITE.
WE'RE MARKING SOME FISH,
NOT A LOT,
BUT WE JUST GOT
TO KIND OF STICK OUR GUT
AND TRUST IN WHAT WE'RE DOING.
AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET A BITE.
WHO KNOWS?
WHO KNOWS WHAT WE'LL FIND?
¶
THE SUNRISE.
THAT'S BITCHIN', HUH?
¶
WE GOT A BUNCH OF BAIT THAT'S
KIND OF STARTING TO COME OVER
TO THE BOAT --
YOU CAN KIND OF SEE IT
KIND OF JUMPING OUT HERE.
YOU CAN SEE THIS BAIT PILE
RIGHT HERE.
THESE ARE BIGGER FISH THAT'S
PUSHING THIS BAIT PILE UP.
SO IT'S SHOWING THAT
THERE'S BIGGER FISH AROUND.
THEY JUST HAVEN'T BIT YET.
[ REEL RATCHETING RAPIDLY ]
ALL RIGHT,
WE'RE TIED ON SOMETHING.
DUNNO HOW BIG IT IS,
IT'S ACTING WEIRD.
DIDN'T TAKE A WHOLE LOT OF LINE.
I DON'T KNOW
IF IT'S A REAL BIG FISH
OR HE'S JUST NOT HOOKED RIGHT?
OH, YEAH, IT'S AN AHI,
IT'S A NICE ONE.
LOOKS LIKE HE'S ABOUT
MAYBE 60, 70 POUNDS.
HE'S FIGHTING
REALLY WEIRD, THOUGH.
THIS IS A VERY, VERY NICE FISH.
I GOT ONE SHOT
GETTING THIS GUY IN THE BOAT.
SEE WHAT HAPPENS HERE.
SUN IS JUST COMING UP.
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BITE
WHEN THE SUN COMES UP.
I DON'T KNOW [BLEEP].
I'M OUT HERE RIGHT NOW.
CASEY WENT DOWN, WE DID ALL
THE NIGHT FISHING,
THAT WASN'T VERY SUCCESSFUL.
IKA-SHIBI FISHING SUCKED.
NOW I'M TRYING TO CATCH MY
FIRST ONO.
¶
[ REEL CLICKING ]
HEY!
WHAT'S THAT? ARE WE ON?
CASEY! CASEY?
[ SNORING ]
CASEY?
CASE?
CASEY?
[ SNORING ]
CASEY? CASEY?! CASEY?
CASEY!
CASE?
[ SNORING ]
HUH?
SEEMS LIKE
I HAVE SOMETHING.
WHICH SIDE?
THAT SIDE.
ORE THIS ONE -- THIS ONE'S
DANCIN' HARD TOO.
YEAH, THAT'S IT.
YOU GOT ONE?
I THINK THERE'S ONE
ON THIS ONE TOO.
BRING THAT BITCH IN.
NICE JOB, JOSH.
GO OVER THROUGH
THE HONEY PILE, HUH?
I GUESS SO.
GOT US A DEVIL!
GO FIGURE.
CASEY GOES TO BED EARLY
AND JOSH COMES HOME WITH TWO.
[ BOTH LAUGHING ]
OH, YEAH.
THIS IS A VERY,
VERY NICE FISH.
WE'VE GOT A LONG, LONG,
LONG NIGHT SHIBI,
SO WE DIDN'T REALLY PICK
ANYTHING UP AT THE NIGHT,
SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN
KIND OF MAKE UP FOR IT.
I GOT ONE SHOT OF GETTING
THIS GUY IN THE BOAT.
HE'S KIND OF
ACTING KIND OF WEIRD.
¶
[ SNAP ]
OH, MY GOSH!
THAT WAS A GOOD SIZED FISH, MAN.
THAT WAS LIKE AN 80, 90 POUNDER.
WE JUST LOST GOOD SIZE AHI
RIGHT BY THE BOAT.
NOT GOING TO LIE, IT STINGS.
STINGS FOR SURE.
HE DID A FUNKY LOOP --
LOTS OF TIMES
WHAT THOSE GUYS DO
IS ONE LAST EFFORT
WHEN THEY MAKE A WEIRD TURN,
THEY'LL SHAKE THEIR MOUTHS TWO
OR THREE TIMES
WITH THEIR MOUTH OPEN --
LIKE THAT.
AND THEY'LL SPIT THE HOOK OUT.
THAT'S A ROUGH ONE.
THAT'S A TOUGH ONE TO SWALLOW.
BUT IT'S PART OF FISHING.
YOU KNOW,
YOU GOT TO SHAKE IT OFF
AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET
ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY HERE.
BROUGHT THAT FISH RIGHT
UP TO THE BOAT,
BUT HE HAD OTHER PLANS.
GAVE ME A HIGH FIVE WITH
HIS SICKLE
AND SWAM AWAY.
OH, YEAH. HE'S PISSED.
YEAH, THEY GET PISSY.
THESE ARE MEAN [BLEEP] FISH,
TOO,
SO WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO IS
YOU'RE GONNA
BRING IT RIGHT UP TO ME
AND I'LL LEADER HIM UP,
AND THEN WE'RE GONNA
GAFF HIS ASS.
HERE WE ARE, THE FIRST ONO!
¶
NICE JOB, BUDDY, KEEP CRANKING,
RIGHT UP HERE, GOOD.
HELL YEAH!
GET ME THE OTHER GAFF.
WELL, YOU GOT ANOTHER ONE
TO REEL IN TOO.
¶
THAT'S A DAMN NICE FISH.
A DOUBLE, BUDDY!
AFTER BEING OUT
ALL NIGHT INTO THE MORNING,
NOT GETTING EVEN A BITE,
IT FEELS PRETTY DAMN GOOD TO NOT
ONLY HAVE ONE FISH ON LINE,
BUT TWO.
ANOTHER NICE ONE, HUH?
READY?
YEP.
ALL RIGHT.
TWO BEAUTES.
OKAY. PUT THE REST THE BAIT ON
THERE, WE'LL PUT
A FIVE GALLON BUCKET OF WATER
IN THERE, SLOSH IT OUT.
TURN RIGHT BACK AROUND.
GONNA GET SOME MORE?
WE'RE GOING TO GO RIGHT BACK
TO THE SAME SPOT.
GET 'EM WHILE THEY'RE HOT.
LO AND BEHOLD,
I TAKE A LITTLE NAP.
JOSH NAILS TWO ONO.
NICE JOB, JOSH.
IMPRESSIVE.
BEST DAMNED NAP I EVER
TOOK ON THIS BOAT!
I WAS LISTENING TO MUSIC, MAN,
CHARLIE DANIELS
IN MY HEADPHONES,
NEXT THING YOU KNOW, I HEAR,
¶ DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA ¶
¶ HE WAS LOOKING FOR A -- ¶
"CASEY!"
"CASEY!" I WAS LIKE,
I WASN'T THE DEVIL.
I LOOK OVER AND THIS WAS ONE'S
ALL, "ENH, ENH,"
AND THIS ONE STARTED DANCING
TO THE WALL.
"I THINK WE GOT TWO!"
OH.
THOSE ARE BIG ONO,
THOSE ARE NICE FISH.
THAT'S $500 WORTH OF ONO.
NOT BAD FOR A COUPLE
OF BOYS FROM ALASKA.
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]
WHAT'S HAPPENING, JEFF?
WE GOT A DOUBLE HOOKUP
ON ONO.
AWESOME, COOL.
GOOD JOB. GOOD JOB.
LANDED THEM BOTH --
THE BIG KIND, TOO.
WE GOT TO FIND A MARKET
FOR THEM, THEY'RE --
I MEAN, THEY'RE TOO LONG
TO FIT IN THE BOX,
THEY'RE TOUCHING BOTH ENDS OF
THE BOX.
THEY'RE BIGGER THAN A FOOTBALL
AROUND. THEY'RE NICE.
I'M ONLY A MILE AWAY.
I'M COMING.
ALL RIGHT, I'LL TEXT YOU
THE COORDINATES.
ALL RIGHT. SOUNDS GOOD.
ALL RIGHT.
SOUNDS GOOD.
WE'LL BE OUT THERE.
TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN CAPITALIZE
OFF THE SITUATION.
IT'S STILL EARLY.
AGAIN, WE HAVE HAD A LONG NIGHT.
WE JUST THREW
THESE LURES BACK.
WE GOT TO JUST KEEP
GRINDING IT OUT.
KEEP PRESSING FORWARD.
[ BEEPING ]
OH, YEAH. WE'RE MARKING.
YEAH, THERE'S A COUPLE OF THEM.
THERE IS SOMETHING
REALLY BIG DOWN THERE.
-FISH ON.
-YOU GOT ONE?
OH, YOU GOT A GOOD ONE!
THAT'S A GOOD ONE, ISN'T IT?
-THAT'S A GOOD ONE.
THAT'S A REALLY GOOD ONE.
THAT THING'S TAKING LINE.
OH, OH, OH, OH.
I BET YOU WE GOT AN AHI
THE WAY THAT HEAD'S SHAKING.
IT MAY HAVE TAKEN US ALL NIGHT,
BUT WE'RE FINALLY ON THE FISH.
OKAY, I'M GOING
ONE MORE CIRCLE.
HE'S GOING TO CRUISE.
NICE GAFF JOB, JOSH!
DUDE, YOU GOT IT RIGHT
IN THE SWEET SPOT.
THAT'S A 40 POUNDER.
YEAH.
NICE!
OH, JEFF'S GONNA BE HAPPY.
THINK WE'RE HAVING THE BEST DAY
OF OUR LIVES RIGHT NOW ALMOST.
FEELS GOOD. YEAH.
I MEAN, WE'RE ON IT TODAY.
I MEAN,
IT STARTED OFF LITTLE ROUGH,
BUT, TELL YOU WHAT, WE'RE REALLY
PICKING IT UP.
YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT
TO GRIND IT OUT.
YOU'VE GOT TO WORK HARD
AND YOU'VE GOT TO TRUST
IN WHAT YOU DO.
[ REELING ]
I'M ON, I'M ON.
THIS IS DEFINITELY BIGGER
THAN THE LAST ONE
WE JUST HOOKED.
I HOPE IT'S
AN AHI.
NEED AN AHI BAD.
TOOK A LOT OF LINE.
HE'S RAN ABOUT 60, 70 FATHOMS OF
LINE OUT ON ME RIGHT NOW.
REALLY BIG FISH, MAN.
[BLEEP].
THAT'S A BIG [BLEEP].
I KNOW MY GEAR.
I KNOW MY REELS.
I KNOW MY RODS,
I KNOW MY DRAGS.
IT'S A BIG FISH.
LOOKS TO BE
ABOUT 150, 200-POUNDER.
THIS IS THE TIME
WHEN YOU REALLY,
REALLY GOT TO FOCUS,
YOU REALLY,
REALLY GOT TO PAY ATTENTION.
EVERYTHING YOU DO CAN BE COSTLY.
AHI IS WORTH WELL ABOVE
10 BUCKS A POUND RIGHT NOW,
SO EVERY OPPORTUNITY
THAT WE GET TO EVEN HOOK ONE
IS A CHANCE AT A BIG PAYCHECK.
SO IF YOU LOOK AT MY RECORDER
RIGHT NOW,
YOU CAN SEE THIS FISH
IS DOWN AT 50 FATHOMS.
THAT'S STILL A LONG WAY DOWN.
I GOT A LOT OF TENSION
ON THIS FISH.
I'M NOT BABYING THIS GUY.
I WANT TO GET THIS GUY
TO THE BOAT.
I GOT HIM UP TO ABOUT
35 FATHOMS.
I'M AT 20 FATHOMS.
I GOT COLOR.
HE'S [BLEEP] GREEN.
THIS GUY AIN'T GONNA WANT
TO COME IN.
I'M ALMOST TO MY LEADER.
THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.
WE'VE GOT TO HOOK UP.
WE DON'T GOT A FISH RIGHT NOW
IN A BOX. A LOT CAN HAPPEN.
¶
¶
HIS DAD?
[ LAUGHS ]
¶
HE'S DOWN THERE.
WE GOT A HOOK UP.
WE DON'T GOT A FISH RIGHT NOW
IN THE BOX.
A LOT CAN HAPPEN.
AFTER SPENDING ALL NIGHT
ON THE WATER WITH NO BITES,
I FINALLY GOT ONE,
AND IT'S THE BIGGEST FISH
I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE.
BIG [BLEEP] FISH.
¶
I'M GONNA
TAKE HIM RIGHT HERE.
¶
¶
¶
SHE'S BIG, BOY.
[GRUNTING ]
THAT'S AHI.
HOLY [BLEEP], THAT'S POSSIBLY
MY BIGGEST FISH THIS YEAR, MAN.
THINK HE [BLEEP] BROKE MY HAND.
SHE'S GOT TO BE AT LEAST 180.
SHE'S AS TALL AS ME.
¶
NEVER GETS OLD.
NEVER GETS OLD.
[ SPEAKING HAWAIIAN ]
¶
I THINK IT'S TIME TO GO HOME
AND SEE THE FAMILY.
¶
THAT'S MORE OUR STYLE,
THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD GO NIGHT
FISHING WITH.
NIGHT FISHING,
NOT SO GOOD.
MORNING FISHING,
OH, WE SLAYED IT.
IT WAS AWESOME.
STICK AND STAY, MAKE IT PAY.
THE SUN TRIUMPHANTLY RETURNS
FOR THE BOUNTY.
BOX FULL OF BOUNTY.
LAST NIGHT SUCKED.
BUT THE MORNING, AS THE SUN
CAME UP ENDED UP HOOKING UP WITH
NOT ONE BUT TWO HUGE ONO,
AND A NICE AHI.
WE'RE [BLEEP] HOME, MAN --
LONG DAY, MAN, LONG DAY.
SO TIRED,
I CAN'T EVEN COUNT.
SUPER STOKED, IT'S PROBABLY ONE
OF OUR BEST SUCCESSFUL DAYS
THAT WE BOTH CAUGHT FISH,
SO THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.
YOU KNOW, YOU CATCH FISH
IS ONE THING,
BUT YOU WANT TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE
CATCH FISH TOO,
'CAUSE THEY'RE OUT THERE
SPENDING THE TIME IN THE WATER
JUST LIKE YOU ARE.
SO I'M SUPER HAPPY, MAN.
I'M SUPER STOKED.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE BOYS.
YOU KNOW, WE GRINDED IT OUT

[ CHUCKLES ]
THAT'S AWESOME, MAN.
AFTER HAVING A REALLY
LONG TRIP, YOU KNOW,
20 PLUS HOURS OUT ON THE WATER,
NO SLEEP --
WHEN I'M COMING IN
AND THE FIRST THING I SEE
IS MY KIDS
AND MY WIFE FROM THE DOCK.
HI, SWEETIE.
HI, LOVE BUG.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW,
THAT'S JUST ICING ON THE CAKE
FOR A GREAT TRIP.
WHY DON'T YOU GUYS SET UP HERE,
I'M GOING TO PUT THE BOAT
ON THE TRAILER
AND I'M GOING TO BRING
THE BOAT AND BRING YOU GUYS OUT.
YOU GUYS CAN CHECK OUT
DADDY'S FISH, ALL RIGHT?
WHOO! SAY "DADA!"
WHAT A DAY!
HI, DADDY.
HOW YOU DOING?
GOOD, TIRED.
HEY! MWAH!
I'M BEAT, I'M ---
I'M PRETTY CROSS-EYED.

YOU GOT THE BIG ONE.
TEAMWORK!
TEAMWORK.
MAKES THE DREAM WORK.
WOW.
I THINK WE GOT A BIG FISH.
YOU WANT TO CHECK IT OUT?
I THINK YOU COULD
MAYBE FIT IN ITS MOUTH.
YOU KNOW, AT THIS POINT,
WE'RE NOT JUST FILLING
IN THE BLANKS ANYMORE.
WE'RE ACTUALLY STARTING
TO SUCCEED A LITTLE.
LET'S GO --
LET'S GO CHECK OUT THESE FISH,
MAN, I WANT TO SEE 'EM.
EVEN THOUGH IKA-SHIBI DIDN'T
QUITE PAY OFF FOR US,
WE STILL HAD
A PRETTY DAMN GOOD DAY.
I KNOW MY DAD
WOULD BE REALLY PROUD.
WE STUCK IT OUT TILL WE ENDED UP
LANDING SOME FISH.
WOW!
THAT GUY COULD EAT THIS GUY.
IT WAS WORTH IT MAN,
WE WORKED HARD.
WE GRINDED IT OUT OUT THERE,
AND, PHEW...
I'M GLAD TO BE IN.
I DON'T WANT TO BE --
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE OUT THERE
ANY LONGER THAN I HAD TO BE.
THAT'S FOR SURE.
YOU KNOW, SOMEDAY I'M GOING TO
COME HOME
WITH THE BIGGEST FISH.
BUT RIGHT NOW, I WANT A NAP.
I'LL SEE IN THE MORNING.
ALL RIGHT, MAN.
GOOD JOB, YOU GUYS.
LET'S GO GRAB A BEER FIRST,
AND THEN WE'LL SEE YOU
IN THE MORNING.
I THINK A BEER IS WELL DUE.
I'LL MEET YOU AT THE PUB.
I GOT THE BIGGEST FISH,
SO I'LL BUY YOU GUYS A BEER,
HOW ABOUT THAT?
HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT --
[ CROSSTALK ]
PAY MY RESPECTS.
I'LL PAY MY RESPECTS.
GOOD JOB TODAY, BOYS,

CATCH YOU IN A LITTLE BIT.
TAKE CARE.

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]
-HEY, MAN!
-WHAT'S GOING ON, BROTHER?
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS
FOR BRINGING ME OVER,
I HAD SO MUCH FUN.
WHAT A GREAT WEEK.
-WELL, THANK YOU.
THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN
HAVING YOU OVER HERE, BROTHER.
I'VE BEEN WANTING TO TALK TO
YOU GUYS,
BECAUSE IF YOU GET LIKE
A LITTLE AIRPLANE
AND YOU FLEW THE SHORELINE,
YOU CAN SEE WHERE EVERY FISH
IS LANDING, THEY CAN'T HIDE.
IT'S GOING TO SAVE YOU
A LOT OF TIME.
LIKE WE DO FOR HERRING
AND SALMON IN ALASKA?
THAT'S NOT A BAD IDEA.
YEAH.
I'VE BEEN WORKING
ON MY PRIVATE LICENSE.
WE COULD PROBABLY
RENT A PLANE IN KONA
AND GO OUT
AND LOOK FOR FISH.
WELL, WE'RE GOING TO GIVE
THAT A WHIRL NEXT.
I LOVE YOU GUYS, MAN.
KEEP ME POSTED
ON EVERYTHING, MAN, I'M OUT,
BUT KEEP ME POSTED, OKAY?
ALL RIGHT, BROTHER.
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
WE'LL GIVE HER A WHIRL,
LET YOU KNOW.
SEE YOU GUYS. BYE.
ALL RIGHT, LOVE YOU.
SEE YOU, BROTHER.
