Well do believe captain Akahiro is in fact a hero. Unfortunately most of the trip was riding around rough waters, no fishing for kids, and not much for adults - until captain manages to hook a fish on - his crankbait technique isn’t easy to replicate or skill to acquire right away - especially not in a boat that appears to eject you at any moment.

My 7 year old son and I ended up with a good experience, thanks to the 10 pounder and then 30+ pounder amberjack we pulled out. But that happened (both) before 6.30 AM - and then without a bite for the next 5+ hours was tough.

The captain knows where the fish are and when you have one on get ready for the ride of your life. Some big fish!

Captain Akihiro’s method is simple but works. But it is not easy for average people with little jiggling experiences. Me, my wife and my son all tried but with no success. Finally, we were able to catch two amberjacks, one tuna and one unknown fish. All under Captain Akihiro’s assistance though.  It is harder than we thought because the water is a little rough today.  Overall, we were still having a lot fun. Thank you Captain!

I caught a once in a lifetime GT on this trip! Would do it again in a heart beat!
