25-30 Pound Ono (Wahoo) caught at 10:30 May 9th, 2017

Wahoo-Ono in Hawaiian

This happy young lady just reeled in a 25-30 pound Ono, while sport fishing for big game fish this morning. 

This same private charter caught a Pacific Blue Marlin this morning as well!

It is a great day to be fishing in Hawaii! The weather is beautiful outside, warm day, blue skies and only a little bit of wind.

Ono is so Ono!

Today's Fresh Catch

Rascal Fishing Charters caught a Ono a half hour out at 6:30 AM.
Ono in Hawaiian also means "good to eat" as in: "Da Fish stay Ono" means The Fish is Good Tasting.
It is quite fitting as Ono (Wahoo) is also very good tasting fish, very Ono.

Storm makes for good fishing in Hawaii

Recent storm makes for good deep Sea Fishing!

While Maui may not have seen the "Huricane or the Tropical Storm that was expected to hit Maui a few weeks ago, it did hit he Big Island pretty good and that left a lot of debree in the water. Hawaii Fishing boats love to come accross floating logs and nets. Fish will hang out by the nets, just waiting for you to catch them.

Captain Kevin told me last week after a charter that he probably could have caught close to 100 more than he brought in (that day was 9 Mahi, 8 Tuna and Aku and Ono)! However the customers who chartered the boat were ready to come in on time. {I was like, "R U Serious!?"}

You (my readers) and I... we just wish we could be on the boat when 'they' are reeling in that many fish!

Today's' fresh Catch & Sunrise images

Aloha, looks like we are seeing more Ono and Ahi running now. Captain Kevin on Rascal sent over some sunrise photos and the catch of the day: 2 Ono. (Wahoo)

Ono are impressive predators with razor sharp teeth

Popular Name: Wahoo

The Ono is a long, narrow and powerful fish that averages about 4-6 feet in length, and weighs about 15-60 pounds. With it's razor sharp teeth, the ono is an impressive predator that can swim up to 50 miles and hour and can attack both lures and bait with lightening fasts strikes, making them a favorite fish to hook up to. It's sharp teeth are perfectly designed for slashing, with the jaws working more like a pair of scissors.

The back is an iridescent bluish green; the sides are silvery with cobalt blue vertical stripes.

*Thank you to Tad and Cindy Lucky of Lucky Strike Charters for this photo taken on one of their fishing Charters.

Ono tend to be a solitary fish and their diet consists mostly of other fish (those teeth are good for bottom fishing) and squid. We do not see many Ono during the winter months.

Ono means 'Delicious' in Hawaiian and boy is it ever! Like Mahi Mahi, there are plenty of ways to prepare Ono. Ono has firm white meat and can even be cooked on the grill with just a little oil on it.
