Tickets to Kona in December booked!!! Cirrhilabrus jordani and Macropharyngodon geoffroyi, here I come! Might bring a few Hawaiian yellows back to give out for favors Catching a fish in the wild isn't that hard, right? Right?

Well I never saw either of those wrasse (I did see the far superior Anampses chrysocephalus) though I did see some yellow tangs. So yeah should be simple

Do you scuba? You have time to learn.

Bad ears. Can't, unfortunately :-(

Belize doesn't sound half bad either!

Snorkel?

 

[JoJosReef]

Snorkel?

YES! I usually just put on swimming goggle and go swimming, but I sometimes use the snorkel, too. I can't swim down very far. Might make it hard to catch fish, hmm.

I keep seeing blips in my suggested google.feed about the Hawaiian fishery opening again. Heard anything about that?

 

[JoJosReef]

Ok, how about getting an inch thick 3 ft polished acrylic rod and attaching a clear net at the end. They'll never see it coming!

I have not, but I understand you are able to take fish for personal aquarium use and bring them home as long as there are no import restrictions at your destination and if TSA + airline play nice. There are restrictions on methods for catching. I think it's basically a 3ft hand net or fishing line.

I was hoping to find a comically long one

Of course! A 20 foot telescoping one! They'll never figure it out!

 

[Slocke]

I did find this when searching for long nets...
@Miami Reef care to explain yourself?!

Here we go! Sounds promising!

State Supreme Court ruling opens door for aquarium fishing off West Hawaii

The ruling is the latest in a controversy that's been around for more than a decade.

The Yellows I saw in Kona were in super rough, super rocky reef.

However, there were plenty of Convict Tangs and a decent number of Achilles that I could have brought home. Only saw the 1 Cleaner Wrasses and several different varieties of Coris and Surge Wrasse.

My little sis had an operation that they put tiny tubes in her ears so she could equalize her ears as a child.
I got a drill bit and some 3/16 airline... We could give it a try...

An achilles will fit in a TSA approved container for just one little flight, right?

Against regulations. Can only be 3' total including the net.
