Fresh Catch The 14th Annual Fishing Tournament had a fin-tastic turnout. By Jennifer Fratzke ➳ Every year, members and their guests are invited to show their angling skills via Motorboat, Kayak/Outrigger, Shore and Spearfishing. This year, the competition was on—with nine boats, six spearfishing teams, two human powered and seven shore anglers. From manini to marlin, uhu to ono, and even some moray eels, plenty of action was out there! We ended the night with the awards banquet, where everyone walked away with some swag and shared their fishtails. If you missed it this year, be on the lookout for next year’s tournament date and other events by the Fishing & Boating Committee. Mahalo to POP Fishing & Marine, Izuo Brothers, West Ma- rine, Maui Sporting Goods, Evolve, DAR, KK Lures, SeaSports, and FreeDiveSafe Hawai‘i for your support.
