BTT Conservation Captain Mike Hennessy with a nice Hawaiian O’io.
It is no longer a secret that the state of Hawaii supports a pretty good bonefish fishery. Catching a fish over 10 pounds is not uncommon to our friends in the Pacific. Just like the Keys, the Bahamas, and Belize, the bonefish in Hawaii face their own set of challenges and they need our help.
Unfortunately, gill-netting and commercial sale of bonefish in Hawaii are both commonplace and legal. A group of very concerned anglers and guides are currently petitioning Hawaii Governor, David Ige to designate bonefish as a “gamefish” in the state, thus prohibiting commercial sale. Please assist them with this effort by taking a moment to fill out their petition.
