Fishing for Ono By Keonaona Kapuni-Reynolds While I was fishing with my dad at Kalae, my hands became very sore from pulling the Ono that was on the hand line. In the early morning my whole family awoke and went on the family boat called “Keonaona.” This is the family both and every year we would take a ride on our boat. As we were traveling from Kona to Kalae, Ka‘ū we saw lots of bright lights in the water and we thought to ourselves, what is that? My dad said that they were squid and it is a very common thing for them to rise up from the deep sea. This is the first time I ever saw this kind of phenomena. At the same time, my dad threw over the fishing lines and he started to drive the boat to Kalae. HE knew that this was the Ono season and because he was so used to the sea, he knew that it was also a good time to fish for Ono. My sister and I were just sitting on the boat when we heard the line pull away by some big fish. It was so exciting for us, and since dad was driving the boat, we had to pull in the hand line since they needed to be pulled in by hand. We put on our gloves and started to pull in the big fish onto
the boat. It was a lot of work and the Ono was at least a 112
pounds heavy. |
