Premiers Friday Oct 23, 10PM.  This is right after Gold Rush, Discovery Channel's #1 show.  This sort of gives you an idea how excited they are about this show.

Seems cool...too bad Discovery has jumped the shark with all its fake reality shows recently.  hopefully these guys get pretty close to truth.

Guys like us can read between the lines and enjoy the fishing.  I predict they will give a lot of play to the 'incredible danger' aspect, probly to the detriment of what we would prefer to see.

Anyone at work asks you about it, just casually mention that GWS are bigger meaner and more aggressive than Tigers, and  don't mention the soiled wetsuits.

It's funny  that they have all the money in the world to promote non stop teasers on tv but some rocket scientist doesn't  program it into the the actual play list...hmmm maybe a new job opening

That wouldn't look cool for TV..   Plus they can't fake drowning with a PFD..  It has to be dramatic!!!

Yes, but many newbies or young people could be watching the show...so someone should really preach safety and that PFDs are cooler than drowning.

Hey Ben, you should hit up Discovery Ch and let them know about this.  They might put you on the show for season 2.  The Rocket can slay fish OTW, Kimmie and slay them ITW, and you can help them put their PFDs on...

All I know is that my non-fishing and non-kayaking friends are more excited than me. Everybody keeps telling me about this cool new kayak fishing show on Discovery channel.

On their Facebook group someone asked about why they don't wear PDF's. They were very hostile about even mentioning the subject. Said it made self rescue too difficult and that they couldn't swim fast enough with a PDF on to catch up with a drifting kayak. One calmer head did offer the explanation that when you are running two lines, the line could get caught in your PDF and the fish could drag you off and down.

I'd put down good money on a wager that a bunch more people have died kayaking and fishing because of not wearing a PFD than because they were wearing one.

I'll watch it.  I expect it to be heavily dramatized similar to other Discovery Channel shows, but it could be entertaining and I enjoy learning about non-CA kayak fishing endeavors.  I do hope them not wearing PFDs doesn't rub off on folks looking to get into kayak fishing.

That being said, I'm leery of Discovery Channel, especially after I saw what they did to Shark Week.  I was so disgusted with the few minutes of Shark Week I saw this year that I vowed never to watch it again.  With Shark Week, Discovery went the way of the History Channel by replacing what used to be a cool and educational program with piles of bullshit.  Enough with the effin' Megalodon already!  They're all dead!

    It was all chopped up with what I guess now passes as exciting editing, but comes off as 2 seconds of this, then 2 seconds of something else, on and on, and lots of what I think was fake drama,  but it was worth watching, and I'll watch next week.
    I want to know what kind of "swivel" it was that causes a dead bait fish to mimic a live one - as they claimed.   
    I also wonder how well my kayak would do with a 100 lb fish + my 200 - I'm sure I wouldn't want to be fighting wind and chop at the same time.

Is that the guy that's training the other guy?

How does he expect him to keep up with him if he has a hobie and the trainee is paddling?

Good show though its worth recording the series.

Post by: Da Bruddah on November 01, 2015, 11:45:41 PM
Eh NCKA Bruddahs,
I grew up on the Big Island in the 50 & 60"s on the Hamakua Coast in a little sugar plantation communitycalled Ninole.  My Dad was a old time fishermen and he and his  buddies use to scale the tall cliffs, haul their Indian Bamboo fishing poles, homemade burlap bag back pack mostly at night. The ocean on our side of the Big  Island was powerful as it is the unprotected part of the island. The Kona side where all of tourist resorts are is the protected side and really calm. My Dad used to stand on the big rocks with the big waves pounding the big boulders and cliffs and if were swept away, you were a gonner as there would be no way to get back on the rocks, I wish that I had some pictures of the incredible fish that my Dad and our family friends caught with just a bamboo pole. We used to stay up late at night and wait for him to come back and most of the times he brought back what I can say if the best tasting fish ever (Moi, Aholehole, Kumu, Tohei-White Eel, Red Parrotfish-Uhu).
I think that the guys who caught the 100# Ahi, must have offloaded the big fish in the camera boat because it would be a treacherous paddle in with a big fish like that on a small one man kayak. My brother-in law was a commercial fisherman for a few years and he would go out of a harbor called Pohoiki near Kalapana where the active volcanoes are comingdown into the ocean (South East Hawaii). One night, my Dad, my older bruddah and myself went out with him. We headed out to sea in the early evening and when you headed out the small harbor, you had to time your launch when the wave sets were smaller and push the throttle full power to push through the breakers and not get capsized by a big breaker. We went some miles out and at night, this was when the volcano just started erupting and the stars and milky way were blazing and you could see the red and orange lava flow coming down all the way to the ocean. We were fishing for Ahi and they were catching a lot of fish that summer, I forget what year it was? The water was so clear you see the mackerel bait (opelu-mackeral family)disappear down the ocean depths and we only used Dacron hand lines and gloves to pull the fish up because the object was to pull the fish up as fast as you could so that the Ahi blood would get too hot and burn the flesh of the fish as it was going to be eaten for sashimi only. We dropped the bait down really deep and when the ahi first hit, it didn't feel that strong. We were drifting with a parachute and had a underwater light at the back end of the boat. When we started pulling up the Ahi and as it got closer to the surface, it would see the light and start diving.That night I hooked a 100 lb ahi right up the nose and to this day this is the strongest fish that I have ever yanked up. I was bracing my self on the side the the boat and I had to use every ounce of my strength to bring the fish to the surface where my brother in law would gaff it, haul it in the boat, beat the hell out and then bleed the fish right away and put it on ice/ That night we caught 10 Ahi, the smallest was the I one I caught 100#'s and the biggest was around 200#'s. Most of the fish were 150#+. The inside of the boat in short time ended up looking like one gory, bloody mess, as every big fish had to be bled out as soon as it was caught.
The kicker was they were catching so much ahi that summer the wholesale price of Ahi was about $1.50 a lb. Can you believe that back in the late 80's it was that cheap!!! That was the greatest fishing adventure I have ever had on the Big Island. Yeah, I agree that it is the best Island for fishing!!!
My brother-in-law was kind of bummed out, man. All that Ahi tuna and cheap as hell!!! He gave up fishing a few years later, couldn't make a living, too expensive to go fishing, gas up and buy bait!!!
That just came out of me. I wasn't planning on writing this, but I had to tell  this story of the greatest fisherman that I knew, MY DAD. He passed away in 1993, WWII Vet, 442nd and 100th Battalion, Purple Heart, Bronze. His buddies gave their lives for this country in large numbers in Italy and France.
That's the true Pacific Warriors!!!!
Mahalo,
Da Bruddah

My Dad Wallace Sadanori Yamagata , 442nd, 100th Battalion, Rescued the "Lost Battalion" in the mountains in France. They had over 800 Pacific Warriors killed or wounded to rescue a Battalion from Texas of 200 men that were trapped on a German fortified mountain top. They were ordered by their General (General Dahlquist) to charge up the mountain and rescue the Lost Battalion who were pinned down and running out of food and ammo. My Dad's commander protested and tried to stop this action , he told the General that "it was a suicide mission". Do you think that that the fact that they were Japanese-Americans, they were more expendable? I think so!!!The 442nd and 100th were put on the front line, most often the first to bust through German artillery flying over their heads. They paid dearly for that. My Dad could have been on of those killed in action. He was wounded, but survived. I could have  easily not even existed now.
My Dad and his Hawaii Bruddahs were real heroes. That's true bravery!!!
I am proud to be his 2nd son!!!!

FYI, the USS Hornet in Alameda had (has?) a room dedicated to the 442 with some nice displays and history. It was a few years ago since I visited though.

Great story Bruddah! Much respect for the old school

For the series, the producers must script some of it. They have to make it interesting for non fishers. Sometimes we see a re-enactment of a situation that came up in a conversation between Cast and crew.  Just remember its reality TV not educational tv.
I did get a good idea though. The  bait tubes are a cool idea. Havent seen that before. Atleast I think the drilled pipe they are dragging around are for bait.

 I am wondering if anybody can sell fish on the islands ? ...I do not see commercial numbers or markings  on any of the kayaks on the show   .. seems like a place like that would insist on large commercial numbers ,,,then again the selling fish talk  could just be more TV bull scat.

I believe they can, or that there is little barrier to them doing so.

Hey Bushy and NCKA Bruddahs,
I just watched the 2nd episode of Pacific Warriors and I have to say that the Bruddahs from the Big Island really pissed me off. First of all, us local guys we don’t treat another Bruddah like that, especially if like NCKA, we are all doing something that we love. Most local guys, contrary to the 2 assholes who gave their Maui Bruddah false intel and sent him on an empty wild goose chase from Honokahau Harbor in Kona (that’s near the Kona Airport). It pissed the hell out of me that those 2 motherfuckers were staking claim to a piece of the ocean that is supposed to be shared by all and tell the Maui Bruddah that he had to leave or they were going to kick his ass. If you noticed, they were launching from what looked like a State or County Park. That was a public beach!!!! It further pisses me off that people not from Hawaii will think that’s how us local guys are and that’s how we treat each other. Bullshit!!! I can truly say that most local people are very kind and generous, most local Bruddahs will not treat you badly if you don’t come off like an arrogant, stupid “haole”. Those 2 Big Island jerks got it all wrong. Locals know that there are parts of the Big Island that is Hawaiian land and has been Hawaiian land foreva. We know that you don’t enter Hawaiian land without someone from the local area or family that has some claim to the land. You have to ask permission to be taken to the ocean by a native Hawaiian and be able to fish there. The ocean in Hawaii is for everyone, there was never any kind of “yeah this is my fishing ground and only us guys can use that”. That’s bullshit!! The ocean in Hawaii is a gift to everyone, and it is to be treated with respect and shared with all. I don’t know if those assholes were putting up a show for this series because in true native Hawaiian tradition, if they were doing for real, they are in for some very big trouble. If they keep doing this something bad is going to happen to them. The Kupuna (elder) spirits and the ancient Hawaiian traditions of “Aloha Aina”-Love for the Land are not to be violated, they watch over the land and the sacred ocean and one day something will happen to those assholes from Kona that will kick their ass if they keep doing for this TV this series or if that’s how they are in real life.
When my Dad and his fishing buddies, Calvin Sueda and Yamamoto Man went fishing in Kalapana, they knew Uncle Robert Hoomalu whose family has lived in Kalapana (Southwest Hawaii where the volcanoes are erupting and going into the ocean) for a very long time, probably before the missionaries came. When Uncle Robert took them fishing they had to walk over Hawaiian land and my Dad would always bring food and other household things for Uncle Robert and his family. Once they even bought him a refrigerator because Uncle Robert’s needed one and was having a hard time buying a new one. When I was growing up I saw this. But never quite knew why my Dad would always go out of his way to bring all these thing when he went fishing in Kalapana.
Although I am Japanese-American in Hawaii, the respect for the land of Hawaii, the sacred places, burial grounds, Pele the Goddess of Fire and the volcanoes and deep respect the native Hawaiian people and their traditions and culture were passed down to me for 4 generations. We were told very early in our life that Hawaii is first the land of the Hawaiians and that we are visitors. To this day, even though I was born and grew up in Hawaii, I still feel in in my bones and my soul. When I go to Kalapana, Waipio Valley or places that has been old Hawaiian settlements, I speak to the Kupuna (elder) spirits and ask them to welcome me into their land. That I am a visitor for a very short time and I thank them for their graciousness and generosity. This may sound weird and too supernatural to some of you, but it is very real to me when I go back home to the Big Island. It was real to me when I was growing up as a kid.
I now think that the reason my Dad was such a great fisherman is because he had great respect for the Hawaiian people and their culture. I also think that the reason that he was never injured or could have been killed fishing on the Hamakua Coast is because he was in tune with the Hawaiian culture and has at least one or many aumakua’s “personal gods that protected him when he went fishing.
I felt that it was an obligation for me to share another side of the culture of Hawaii that is not what was portrayed in the 2nd episode of Pacific Warriors. Now that free diving woman, Kimi Werner. Now she is a great representative of the native Hawaiian culture!!! She looks and acts like the real thing!! Respect for the ocean and only eats what she catches and shares it with family and friends. Now that’s the true Aloha Spirit.
When I was in my twenties, I met a true native Hawaiian kahuna medicine woman named Mornah Simeona. She spoke about Aloha and told us that in the ancient Hawaiian spiritual tradition, Aloha was a sacred greeting meaning “I Bless You with the Breath of the Creator”.
ALOHA NCKA Bruddahs,
Da Bruddah (Michael)

Also the producers probably wanted or encouraged them to have a bit of tension to make it more interesting like the Dangerous Catch show.  Very poor editing I might add.  Spinning reel goes off then he reels in with a conventional then back to spinning supposedly on the same fish. :smt012

Hey Brian,
Thanks for sharing Jon Jon's Facebook page. At least he took some time to talk about the 2nd Episode of Pacific Warriors. I posted on Jon Jon's Facebook page and vented some more of my rage.
Allen and the other Bruddahs, looks like the Cho brothers have been assholes for a long time.
Too bad, so much of the people of the Big island have the Aloha Spirit.
It's like some one pissing on your father's grave.
Mahalo,
Da Bruddah

This is my post on Jon Jon's Facebook page:

Eh Jon Jon,
 I grew up on the Hamakua Coast of the Big Island. My Dad as an old school long bamboo pole fisherman, standing on the big rocks of the Hamakua Coast and getting hammered by big waves. The 2nd episode of Pacific Warriors really pissed me off as the 2 Kona Bruddahs, gave the Big Island locals a bad taste. Like you say, I have to say that the Big Island is my favorite Island. Hilo is still a place were most of the businesses are locally owned. My sister and brother-in law own Big Island Delights and everything that they make is with a lot of Aloha!! I now live in Oakland, CA and go kayak fishing in Northern CA. After seeing the 2nd episode of Pacific Warriors, I was so pissed that I wrote a long article for NCKA.org (Northern CA Kayak Anglers website) giving my side of the story of my experience of the locals on the Big Island. There are some incredible people on the Big island and some real Aloha Kupunas (elders) like Uncle Robert Kealii Hoomalu from Kalapana. All his life he just giving out da Aloha, no matter who you are or where you come from. Uncle Robert and the other Kupunas would be ashamed that those 2 Kona Bruddahs when treat you like that!!! Nobody owns the ocean in Hawaii!! To bad that a lot of people who have never been to Big Islands will see those jerks on Pacific Warriors and think twice about coming to the Big Island. Man, my blood stay still boiling. It would be fine with me if those 2 assholes get booted off Pacific Warriors. They crossed the line!!!

Mahalo,

Finally had a chance to catch a couple episodes last night. 

Am I the only one not feeling sorry for Captain John John? 

Guy basically showed up and said I'm gonna break your record so I can financially benefit from it.....then asked where he should fish?!  Who does that?

I though it was kinda funny when they sent him on a wild goose chase.  Somebody posted a story on bloody decks the other day about his drunken blowhard buddy running up in a tackle shop, anouncing that he was from vegas and here to slay.....he asked the shop for numbers and they gave him the coordinates for the tijuana sewer outfall. Too funny.  I see it on the same plane as dudes who show up here, having not put in any work and asking for rockfish spots.  Gtfoh. I did think it was cool that the other guy took him out.

Territorialism always gets everybody all riled up.  I don't live there, I don't know the past dealings, I'm not part of the culture so I can't comment on it and won't judge people either way cause I don't know em. 

And i get the feeling that Kimi's portrayal on the show seems genuine.  I bet the other guys aren't as bad as they're played up to be.

I understand if they want to keep a spot to themselves.  But he lives on a different island and was just looking for some tips.  He has put in the time and I would hope others would be helpful to visiting kayak anglers that have no plans on overfishing an area.  I would respect them if they just said no rather than sending him on a wild goose chase.  That was the BS part of it and not funny.

Doesn't matter where he's from, he pretty much said he was there to break the guys record to boost his status as a guide.  Last person I'd share that kinda Intel with is the guy trying to break my record or build a rep off topping me. I'd think a professional woulda assumed the guy was bs'ing. It's business for both guys, yahoo isn't going to Google for advice. 

Whether or not it was funny or bs.....just difference of opinions.

Pretty sure he told them what he's up to when talking to them on the phone.  Who even knows if the whole goal was even real.  The show could a offered to pay for a couple weeks on the island if he chases the record.

Plenty of people on NCKA who make money from kayak fishing, guides, magazines, selling kayaks, fishing or kayak gear. All has to do with respect. I know a lot of commercial fisherman, crabbers and guides who work on Chesapeake Bay plus a few commercial guides I have met on Sacramento River majority help each other out, share reports, work together to improve their business but most important they look out for each other OTW.

How many of your buddy's would befriend someone or help a guy out if they came in with that attitude?

I like the show, scenery ect. It does wear pretty thin though what they try to pass off as reality. As they reel in a fish the weather is different every shot and last night I believe I saw a guy change reels three times while fighting one fish. That is quite the skill. The best part is watching Kimi dive hopefully she shoots some big fish that aren't already hooked like the one she shot last week was. At least photoshop the hook out of the fishes mouth. Everything seems very staged

   I do keep wondering pulling a 150 tuna on board says about the weight capacity of kayaks, especially since they then supposedly have to paddle in for several miles in nasty conditions.  Oops, there I go, spoiling the fun.
