Great video Eric. Good to know one of us is catching fish these days!

[@r1ko]

Thank you 🙏🏼 Oh, so no good over there this time of year?

[@owenphillips9166]

@@r1ko Hi Eric. Trouble with Okinawa is that it's been fished out pretty badly around most of the main island (where I am these days). The outer islands of Okinawa (50-400km away) are much better, with many, many more fish. It does pick up in the Autumn though, if the Mahi decide to come in close in their big schools.

[@r1ko]

That's a real pity. Do you think it could be managed in a way to bring it back? 50-400km is a fair hike.

[@owenphillips9166]

Probably easier for me to move back and live on one of the outer islands again - could be a retirement plan. ps got a small Spanish today(on the jig!), so it's not totally fished out, unless that was the last one!.@@r1ko

Awesome! Is that your house right on the beach?

[@r1ko]

Yes 😁

[@Jake-ky9ed]

Cool hat! Like penn gear as well, I always thought Spanish were same as our kings but actually they are different species? Have different Latin names? Tomatoe ? Tomotoe? Either one makes a good steak on the grill whatever ya call em, Cheers man! Stay after em.

[@r1ko]

Haha thank you. So I've done it again, spreading misinformation 😊 I remember seeing that too and totally forgot. Thanks for the reminder. Scomberomorus Cavalla (king) vs Commerson (Spanish).

[@Jake-ky9ed]

@@r1ko nah man! They look the same! Would have never thought they were different until I saw the genus (???) names you got there! Cheers man
