Broooo the channel is popping off!! 🔥🔥Great work my guy! Lots of action 💪 Always sucks to see someone go down. Awesome to see all of you lend a hand. See ya on the water again soon!

Awesome catch Devin, that must have been a heart pounding experience having a double screamer. Glad you were able to land both of them. That Uku head looks nice and white, it will look great on your shelf. Thank you for bring us out to your adventure.

What a haul of different species of fish! That is very nice that people came to that Kayakers aid when he flipped. Gotta be safe out there! What a great video, really enjoyed all of it. Beautiful work on the skull.

[@wheres_d_ahi]

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoy the vids!!

[@yepyep340]

WHOA! Uku skull is killer bro. TY for sharing.

[@wheres_d_ahi]

@@yepyep340 thanks! I thought came out pretty cool too! 😊

[@stevenmiyamoto2060]

Congratulations on your 10K subscriber's milestone! I remember getting to 1K took forever. Your videos are getting better and better, and people are watching and sharing. Have a great 2025

@@stevenmiyamoto2060 I didn’t even know I made it yet! I knew it was getting close haha. Thanks bro, your support and encouragement has meant a lot to me. I’ve thought of quitting multiple times and kind words from you and few others has kept me motivated 🙏🏽

[@stevenmiyamoto2060]

@@wheres_d_ahi I enjoy your adventures on the water, and did not want you to stop creating great memories and exciting highlights for us. I can't wait to see companies wanting you to sponsor their products. Who wouldn't want upgrades to their equipment. You have found the formula in your shares. Your humble approach and honest sharing is why people are following and watching now.

Skull mount almost looks like a dragon head pretty cool

[@wheres_d_ahi]

My buddy AJ Wojo has been doing them and gave me tons of tips. He's super good at it. I'm pretty happy with how this first one turned out, but it was such a burdensome process that I'm not sure I'd do it again. I'm anxious to see the results of him doing the big marlin head for me 🤩

[@sonnyd6589]

Nice double Shibbies! Love that red meat! 🎉 How did you friend flipped with an ama. That got me worried cause I have an ama and I thought I was safe!(?). Your advice to practice a flipped kayak is Golden. I practice it after your video show your flipping incident and I’m glad i did, cause I flipped my kayak (no ama that time) and came up okay but lost some gear. Yes it is a very serious thing to happen. Thanks for sharing all your experiences, always enjoy watching! Aloha

[@wheres_d_ahi]

@@sonnyd6589 great comment. I’m happy to hear you were ok! The guy was just someone I met in a few occasions, not a friend friend so I don’t hear the whole story. Honestly the conditions were a little sloppy, and I think he might have been fighting a fish which made him off balance. But I know of others who have slipped with amas so be wary. Those conditions were super bad that day with huge sets of waves breaking through a channel. Take the ama off to flip back over.

[@Hernansoto0422]

Yo nice haul The Ulua how you like prepping it Certain sizes get dealt with differently How you prep the one you kept? Thanks in advance Happy holidays 🍻

[@wheres_d_ahi]

@@Hernansoto0422 I usually throw ulua back for the shore guys. If I keep it’s because someone usually asked for it in particular. I keep kagami and yellow spot for sure tho, sashimi those buggahs!!! If big ulua is probably smoke. If small papio like esp omilu I own fry and top with a shoyu, tomato, and cilantro sauce. Winnahz 🤙🏽

[@Hernansoto0422]

@ solid thanks appreciate it 🤙🏾

[@D33MUS_ky1]

Hi enjoying the videos so far. Im currently in the market for a kayak. I noticed that you used both the outback and pa14 in your videos. Can you give your opinion on how both do offshore, and which you prefer? Ill be targeting pelagics mostly.

[@wheres_d_ahi]

@@D33MUS_ky1 pro angler is more stable, so understandably turning is quite a bit harder/slower and it’s a lot heavier. Outback is more nimble and still pretty stable (much more so than a revo) and the main reason for my usage of the outback more is I can beach launch it much easier than the PA. The larger deck space on the PA is also very nice. Both handle well in the open ocean, but would still recommend side amas, especially when first starting.

[@D33MUS_ky1]

@@wheres_d_ahi Really appreciate your input. Is the PA14 difficult to get going from a stop? Our local dealer has both in stock and PA14 is the 360 version, so that should improve the handling/turning dramatically. Again thanks for the info and keep the videos coming, really enjoy the content.

[@wheres_d_ahi]

@ I don’t like all the parts on the 360 drive if using in salt water. Just seems like more ways to break and go bad. It gets moving fine from a stand still. Slower than the Outback, but you trade that in stability for sure. You can’t go wrong with either tbh. Just a matter of how you plan to use it and what you feel more comfortable with. And how you plan to move it too I suppose. One of my buddy’s puts his on a trailer and only harbor launches so there’s no weight issues for him! But if you were to drag that over sand for a beach launch, you better be fishing with a few other men that don’t mind helping you move it haha. 🤣

[@D33MUS_ky1]

@@wheres_d_ahi Yeah there’s always a price to pay for complicated mechanics, I don’t mind honestly as I’m pretty good with maintenance. However, I like simplicity too. Just want to ensure that I can stay out as long as possible without getting too uncomfortable, and have the space to land fish and work without much interference. Much to think about though.

[@boofdawg8084]

Bro where did you buy that lead ball on your live bait line?

[@wheres_d_ahi]

@@boofdawg8084 I never saw heavier than like 6oz or 8oz. I think j&e carry both. I got a buddy that makes 10 & 12 which is what I use. POP might have too but I bet expensive haha.

[@boofdawg8084]

Bro thanks for the quick response. Love your vids bro,keep up the good work.

[@wheres_d_ahi]

@ thanks for watching bro! Always happy to hear positive feedback 🤙🏽
