Got MOI???????

JUS WANTED TO SHARE SOME THROW NET ACTION..... BUT IT OFFENDED PEOPLE ALOHA

you're an ocean rapist

Moi
Closed season June - August
Minimum size 11 inches
Bag limit 15

Look to the future, our keikis will have no fish left if we do stuff like this.

Brah no shame ah? You must be proud you wiped out a school of moi that probably has been feeding generations. In old Hawaii this was the food of the Ali'i and you pounding all these babies on closed season only shame. If you took what you needed and threw the rest back then came and told us about how you caught 100 Moi but was respectful and kept only what you needed we woulda believed you. I can only hope you feel shame for this and you'll learn that you no need take so much...

I know you read um so no be shame for reply I like hear what you have to say.

YOU and your kine braddahs are the reason plenty people say we get no mo' fish on Oahu. You can't throw the small ones back cause you like show off and say you got plenty fish in one throw?
That's just bad karma and just no reason to do what you did.

I CAUGHT THIS ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2008 AND IN SEASON THIS WAS WHAT I NEEDED TO HELP CELEBRATE MY COUSINS 1ST BIRTHDAY PARTY 2 WEEKS AGO FOR 200 PEOPLE..I MADE THE AHI POKE STEAMED ALL THE BIG ONES FRIED ALL THE SMALLER ONES AND MADE SOME SMOKE MEAT ALSO.AND MY GRANDMOTHER WHO HAS CANCER LOVES TO EAT MOI AS WELL AS MY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS....I DONTJUST GO OUT TO FISH OR HUNT FOR BRAGING RIGHTS.... I GO FOR FOOD, TO HAVE FUN AND RELAX....... I KNOW PLENTY PLACES WHERE GET MOI AND ONLY THREW FOR THEM ONCE THIS YEAR..

WE HAVE OUR SPOTS THAT HAS BEEN HANDED DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION AND KEEPING IT A SECRET FROM OTHERS TO KEEP OTHERS FROM MISUSING THE RESOURCE LIKE KEEP POUNDING UM TILL NO MORE..THESE SPOTS ARE FOR OUR FAMILIES AND CLOSE FRIENDS..FOR MY KIDS TO LEARN AND THIER KIDS..AND WE ONLY TAKE FROM THESE SPOTS FOR FAMILY PARTIES AS WELL AS GATHERINGS..YOU LOOK ALL OVER THE ISLAND WHERE USED TO HAVE MOI NO MORE BUT THESE CERTIAN PLACES ALWAYS GET CAUSE WE PRACTICE CONSERVATION AND TAKE ONLY WHEN WE NEED..GET HUNDREDES AND HUNDREDS OF THEM WHERE WE GO PEOPLE WOULDNT BELIEVE THIER EYES..AND THIS HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR MANY YEARS.

I ADMIT GET SOME 10 INCH KIND BUT CANNOT HELP....BY THE TIME YOU PICK UP THE NET, GET POUNDED ON THE ROCKS, AND MAKE IT TO SHORE TO REMOVE FISH FROM THE NET MOST OF THE SMALLER ONES HAVE EXPIRED..MOST OF US KNOW MOI ARE NOT STRONG LIKE NENUE OR KUPIPI....TRIED TO THROW SOME BACK BUT THEY WERE FLOATING(DEAD).. AND WOULDNT IT BE WASTE IF YOU THREW DEAD FISH BACK?????I UNDERSTAND WHERE U GUYS ARE COMING FROM AND I RESPECT THE OCEAN AS WELL AS THE MOUNTIANS....JUST WANTED TO SHARE SOME PICS AND NOT OFFEND SOME OF YOU!!!!!!!

Since your post was made on Sept 30, I never doubted that you caught the moi during the season. I realize you were feeding 200 people, but that doesn't change the fact that you broke the law. You caught nearly 7 times the bag limit. If we all just ignored set laws when we had a party or birthday coming up do you think that'd be good for the future generations or for our island's suffering fishery? It is an ignorant view on how we should treat our reefs. You, like too many people in Hawaii are harvesting instead of fishing.

Even in ancient times the Hawaiians would punish those that did things like this by death. They realized how fragile and important our ocean is and would protect it at all costs.

YOU LOOK ALL OVER THE ISLAND WHERE USED TO HAVE MOI NO MORE

Why do you think there's no more moi? Because people do things like this...plain and simple

ITS NOT US FISHERMAN OR HARVESTERS AS U CALL IT KILLING ALL THE FISH...ITS THE DRUG ADDICTS WHO ABUSE THE OCEAN BREAKING ALL THE LAWS AND SELLING THIER CATCH TO BUY MORE DRUGS....I KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO SEES IT..I LIVE 5 MIN FROM THE BEACH I SEE IT EVERY DAY...BUT SOME OF OUR GAME WARDENS ARE BUSY BUSTING PEOPLE FOR PUTTING UP EZ UPS AND PULLING GUNS ON LITTLE KIDS....EVERYWHERE U GO THE "CHRONICS" WHEN WIPE UM OUT....I KNOW I CAUGHT SOME UNDERSIZED ONES..BUT BAG LIMIT WISE WE WERE OVER BY 3.....ISNT IT 15 MOI PER PERSON..... WITH 5 PEOPLE IS 75 TOTAL 78...BUT BOTTOM LINE WE DID BREAK THE LAW...SORRY IF I OFFENDED YOU

you caught more than 78 fish...im not going to argue with you online like a cyber idiot, but I hope you realize that this is not the right thing to do.

OK DAD
