Hawaii Kayak Fishing: Just Another Mahi Day

#kayakfishing #hobiefishing #fishing #fishingvideo #offshore #mahimahi #dolphin

Went fishing out on the west side of the island for a change of pace. Dead calm seas and light variable winds made for an amazing day on the water. It didn't hurt that the mahimahi were also biting!
