Most people would find it no trouble at all to go deep-sea fishing in Hawaii, particular with the hopes of reeling in a big fish like a marlin. But it's not as easy as it sounds. It seems even more difficult than fighting a bluefish in Maine. You don't just stand there with a rod and reel, which is what I thought when I first went fishing 7 years ago out of Honokohua Harbor.
Nope, they strap you into a chair. That's so you don't go flying overboard when you get a bite and the fish takes off. Your fishing apparatus is also secured so you can't lose it.
While I watched the wake behind the boat, my mind began to drift. I started to imagine, to my husband's horror, how a 15-foot marlin would look mounted on the wall over our sofa. You can read more in my personal blog today at this link: You Will Not Find a Fiberglass Marlin in Honokohua Harbor.
Not being very familiar with Buddhist traditions, what's the deal with the gold frogs?
