In this video Danny and I take the kayaks out and go spearfishing in downtown Kona! We dive the Predator shipwreck and do a crazy drift. We run into all kinds of shenanigans and score some killah grindz. We make some delicious sushi with our catch and I end up getting ciguatera poisoning!

Only channel I'm subscribed to. Reminds me of the best times of my life, 3 pronging all of the local spots in Northern California. Would be my dream to learn and dive with you, and get my body fixed up by bruddah E. You guys should make a series where you bring people out and change their lives!
Holy shit what a legend… eats more even after second guessing the cig!!! Excellent video thanks for sharing braddah!!!
😂 gotta make sure haha
The diving off Kona was some of the best I have ever had .
Pretty magical place for sure 🤙🏽
8:01 u guys are solid with the safety 🤘🏻 so sick
Amazed you found those great fish out there in front of all the tourists!
Got lucky for sure but also not so lucky lol
Bro the way everyone was checking yall out when yall rolled in like bada**es😂😂 towing Uku spearguns😂 that was classic! I bet everyone was jelly and wanted sum fisssssh too😂🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thanks for sharing about the cig poisoning. I hate having to worry about eating foods we love. Up north it’s a gamble eating the clams with paralytic shellfish poisoning. 😑
Stay safe, I was getting scared for Danny with all those heavy contractions. 100’ is no joke.
Haha he came through with tha beast mode 💚🤙🏽
There's several toxins that are bad news from clams, especially razor clams, which can have high levels of Domoic Acid. essentially 4 types of different toxins giving everything from paralysis to amnesia! Not fun!
I can't believe you ate more fish instead of just Googling whether ciguatera yields those symptoms. :)
I’m a knuckle head who experiments on himself 😂🤙🏽
classic symptoms bro! We were always taught "if it's longer than your arm (forearm), it'll do ya harm. Glad you recovered!
Haha good rule of thumb
Excellent proverb. Thanks for sharing! Note: Regarding cig contamination, this maxim only applies to reef fish, but not pelagic ones, like tuna, which don't get cig because they ordinarily don't live near it or consume it ( cig comes from an algae growing on reefs ). Big pelagic predators potentially have other issues, though.
@@namolokaman2393 Absolutely! they get ciguatoxin from feeding on the coral.
Mahalo for sharing this video. We literally had uku sashimi last night with for dinner that our son caught on the boat. It is such a divine fish to eat. Sending good vibes.
Ono grindzzz
Dayuuuum ma braddah, heavy episode!.. stoked everybody iz all good 🤙🏽🤙🏽 I ate one Roi I shot cuz I heard no eat the head and no blood and no wureez.. fried up Roi fillets and they wuz killahs!.. zero cig side affects.. uku is definitely one my favorite fish too and bummed ta hear they can hold poison too.. must be all the chemz they spray around tourist sections🤦🏽♂️
That’s what I heard too! Don’t eat the head or guts and you should be all good but I guess it depends on the fish and where you shot it.. thanks for sharing 🤙🏽🤙🏽
On Maui the cig is around the sewage wells. where all the tourists they drain shit water thru lava tubes on the mountain into the ocean. you eat fish there choke worm or cig. probably same shit in kona.
Brah that's why I don't eat anything that big...less than two feet you're fine...the bigger the fish the older and the hotter they could be...glad you're ok!
Yeah thought I would be okay, but now I know I can’t make reef fish my main source of protein 😂🤙🏽
keep the vids up haynnn
🔥🤿🔥
Glad you’re ok braddah🤙🏽
Thanks mayne I appreciate that 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Helpful info on cig .thanks !
🥵😂🤙🏽
Love it, nice dives😎. Too bad cuz that uku is bomb to eat!
Still gonna target them. I can’t stop eating them 😂🤙🏽
I like the food ❤
I really enjoy all your videos. That is really awesome you go down so deep and stay there a long time to hunt fish. I really enjoyed all my visits to Hawaii. I got to see a lot of it by helicopter. Man I caught some huge marlin off of Kona. I got to eat some spectacular fish like you spear in a few of the restaurants. Hawaii is much more than raw ahi.
So true! Ahi is delicious but a lotta people never tasted Uku before 😋
Good luck with your channel man
💚🤙🏽
Sick video. I had the coast guard circle helicopter me on the north shore, turns out they were trying to warn us of a big tiger shark near by.
Whoa nawts!
I love your vids bro!!!!!
😂💚🤙🏽
In the first part of this video overlooking the bay into the clear water on the bottom of the ocean is a giant scull about 30 feet by 20 feet with eyebrows. Do you see what I see. It's a treasure. Who knows
Buried treasure perhaps
Brah whenever I had tangles… let the shafts drop so it taught a the lines… way easier after that to unspin and unknot them
Yessssai
Houuu nutz ah, good thing wasn't worse, I've heard some crazy stuff about cig, stay safe out dea braddah 🤙
Let’s go dive u fekah! Go throw net off south point haha
weird nerve issues and vision issues happen with diving too...did u have a viral sickness in previous 3 ish months? if was "poison" everyone who ate it would of experienced SOMETHING, obv not always if bacteria. how was ur blood cell count? hemocrit? liver enzymes? ive slept weird on my arm and my fingers were numb for several weeks. do you get hangry? do you get light headed when you don't eat? thirsty?
Thats crazy neva heard of getting cig from uku
Any reef hunter has it. Only pelagics I have never heard of cig.
I think the areas you dive and how much you eat it
@@hawaiihammahs fish that hunt the reefs like uku always going have cig.. especially when they that big 😂
Bro that was a sick dive! I think you moved your gun when you squeezed the trigger when you missed that one. Sorry to hear about the poisoning and glad you're feeling better. Fuck the haters who probably just drove through McDonald's and got a fish fillet. Your videos are awesome I'm in Kona if you ever want someone to dive with. Hit me up.
💯💚🤙🏽
Sorry you got sick bro! Did you not freez the fish before you made sushi? Love the videos! Make more!
you cannot kill cig with freezing or cooking
Hahah workin on it!
Nice boat paddle on
Yo that sushi looks bomb af!!
It was a little too bomb 😂🤙🏽
Yo, Jay- the people that fish there long ago don’t fish there any more, and the people that use to buy fish from the guys that fish there don’t buy fish there anymore. Reason is that the sewage pipe broke there twice and it got the waters there polluted. Jus saw your vid. That happen to a lot of people. They all thought it was that fish sickness but the fish are eating what is settled on the bottom and the fish eat fish has it in them. So don’t dive or fish there.🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Eeeew I never knew that! Mahalo for letting me know!!
Wish I saw your vid earlier. So sorry. But I will sub. To ur vids, it’s awesome🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
What about the chef? Did he get sick too?
Just me
@@hawaiihammahs good to hear.
damn braddah. subscribed
🔥🤿🔥🤙🏽🔥
Didnt know Uku can get cig. Maybe gotta test next time?
They don’t make test anymore. I think the test weren’t very accurate
Shitty deals ... Did your friend get affected?
No only I got it. I should of mentioned though that I was eating A TON of reef fish for 2 months straight.. I'm sure that had a lot to do with it lol
@@hawaiihammahs you would THINK Uhu would be at the top of the list.... Ciguatera is a dynaflatulant that attaches itself to the reef.... That's mainly what the Uhu's consume.... 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
HELL..... I'll eat ROI from most places on the East side... ROI is such an AMAZING fish!!!
Hoo Brah Uku broke da mouth
Broke my heart as well 😂🤙🏽
What about your friend? Did he get sick also?
Only me because I was eating reef fish everyday for 2 months lol. Should said that in the video
Haha, such a legend! How much did the uku weigh? My buddy also got cig from one but it was a monsta! Anybody know if it’s from eating one fish or the accumulation of it in our bodies from eating lots of fish that have small amounts?
I never weighed the Ukus but I should of mentioned that I was eating A TON of reef fish for 2 months straight.. I'm sure that had a lot to do with it because it builds up in your body
Good to know 🤙🏽
Did your friend have symptoms too?
Only I did.. but I should of mentioned that I was eating A TON of reef fish for 2 months straight. I’m sure that had a lot to do with it too
same thing wit me, my friend shot a 15 lb uku and all da boyz wen grind um but only me got ciguateria poisoning. I believe you have a tolerance level and if you eat enuff reef fish one day going get triggered. I still eat all fish I can get and it's been 10 years and never got it again so far
Now it's gone
It will come back
Did your chef friend get sick too?
Only I did cuz I was eating a ton of reef fish for 2 months.. I believed the cig build up got to be to much for me and these ukus put me over the top lol
U da best kanaka scientist I know my guy chee but Mahalo keakua it nevah whack u crazy bad and the channel name is on q uz 1 hammah
Lolz tanks mah baddah 🔥🤙🏽🔥
its not the whey braddah, whey protein is filtered milk
🙌🔥🙌
At any point did you make an effort to get to the emergency room??
If not, why?
They may have been able to get something in your system to neutralize that poison. If I'm feeling something that strange that doesn't go away after several hours, or maybe by the next morning, I'm heading to the hospital.
If my blurred vision didn’t go away I would have for sure lol. But it slowly got better and that was good enough for me. In ciguatera cases, I think all they can do is pump your stomach
@@hawaiihammahs I'm glad you got better. You understand that poison better so you knew what was happening.
I need to get my diving certification because I bought a nice underwater metal detector that I've only used twice. Of course I'm in Colorado but I am hoping to get to the coast and do some spearfishing.
Enjoy your great sport and many blessings to you!
NO HEALTH INSURANCE, COST TOO MUCH YO, JUST SUCK IT UP SOI BOI JACK
I see a skull in the thumbnail, is it js me
😂 wasn’t sure if it was noticeable
Whats the chefs social media? He’s a hottie. You two could pass as brothers. Another great video. 😊 Kona is where I’m originally from. ❤
Lm_3104 is his insta
My girlfriend says you kinda look like a fish 😂 I take it as a complement fish eat fish brotha
😂🤿🐟🤙🏽
🤣
🔨 108’ 😮, fuckin Davy Jones locker bro…
Bahaha thanks mah braddah 🤙🏽🤙🏽
you nuts for not getting meds .. they got meds for it right?
Don’t think so…. Hahaha
In FL spearfishing I look at their teeth if you see blue on the teeth don't eat it!!! Not sure about pacific type though!?
What does the blue teeth mean?
@@hawaiihammahs I think it's the blue green algae build up happens on barracuda teeth often not sure?
MASTAH. CHEF. LESS.
Tha bestest 🔪🍣
One never suspects to get a food poisoning from such a fresh, amazing looking meal. Wow. Thanks for sharing!
It can happen but it’s usually pretty rare.. I definitely won’t stop eating reef fish though 😂
I from Kona and would nevah eat reef fish hahaha. I sked da fish this side lol. Oh and on a side note. Every person is different. It's the build up of the toxin Gambierdiscus Toxicus in your body that either push you over the edge or be at the borderline. Every person is different. I have friends that eat Ulua and Kahala on the wide and they're fine. I had friends who ate a couple pieces of Yellow Eye Kole and went balls out sick and down for the count for weeks kind. It's a gamble. No where in this island chain is safe. I'm born and raised in an area where there was not 1 single hotel that could cause the toxin to flourish like Kona but we still have cases. Fish do travel and humans love to eat fish. It's a gamble every time you take a bite of that fish. But to me... since i'm a born and raised fishaman.....i'll gladly take that gamble. LOL>
Well said haha! Thanks for sharing mah braddah 💚🤙🏽
What about your friend the one made all that sushi...you neva check with him see if he got sick too...
So sorry this happened, though it was only a matter of time when consuming reef fish. Solution: Make tea out of dried leaves [ not the fruit! ] of the octopus tree ( Heliotropium arboreum, aka. 'false tobacco' in French -- "faux tabac" -- because the leaves are velvety and resemble tobacco leaves ), which is common along the shores of Hawaii. You can also add a 1sq inch piece of bark to the infusion. Do not smoke the leaves. Note: French Polynesians who live on atolls contaminated by cig, use 'false tobacco' leaves daily by stuffing them into fishes' abdominal cavity when cooking, or into the broth. Families who do that supposedly never get 'the itch' ( French: "la gratte" ) from cig poisoning. Dried leaves are more potent. The compound is related to rosemary, so you may try that as well. Do your research. Trivia: According to Wikipedia, some anthropologists theorized that cig contamination may have spurred Polynesian migration through the Pacific.
Crazy I had no clue!
I'm 53 years old and started diving when I was 11.... Even from back THEN, I remember being told to be careful eating fish from that side.... Not saying other parts of the island doesn't have cig but, West side was considered "hot"...
Yeah that makes a lot of sense. Maybe all the traffic and hotels in that area have something to do with it
I would have tried Jason’s 1st tooo😊
@@hawaiihammahs it's many people's opinion that resorts, golf courses and areas with high traffic are considered "hot"... All the chemicals and what have you jus run right into the ocean but... Nobody really knows 🤷🏽♂️
I heard that scientific studies have not been able to confirm that certain areas have more cig than others.
I don't even fish south of kawaihae
Hoo sht. Only now I seen this vid. But yeah thats scary as fck, glad you ok. I heard of some people almost dying from Ciguatera. I had a scare the other week, ate Pananu, and felt little funny after, had the nausea, turned out to be nothing, I guess just an exhausting day. I dont ever think of it when eating fish, especially stuff that eat off the reef and predators that eat reef fish. I dunno, I always say, I live by the ocean, I goin die by the ocean. I just hope not from drowning, cause that must suck, I rather eat one fat fish and die instead.😂😂😂
Hahaha yeah drowning would be a lot quicker than cig poisoning that’s for sure
Brah!!! Just grabbed me some uku down south point! Glad my boogers where clean!! Mahalo for the heads up!
😂🤙🏽🤙🏽
Gotta retitle with "Ciguetera" included. Ive been looking and still didnt see this video. Put it in the title.
What does "cig" mean
Ciguatera poisoning
Thank you!!
I thought you were going to say you had a stroke. Glad you’re ok!
Gotta find someone with an extra drop in ermes trigger for that. That was total seer friction and all that strength into that trigger pull racked your wrist that was locked cause the trigger squeeze. Hope you can find one. They're worth every penny.
Whoa had no idea!! Thanks for letting me know! I was trippin out when that happened lol 💚🤙🏽
@@hawaiihammahs Haha! I honestly can't tell if you're being sarcastic. lol. I feel you would've easily picked up on that during editing. Or at least the wrist buckle.
You have the following, I'm sure if you reached out and asked if anyone had an Ermes Double Roller Trigger for the D'Angelo 2/3, you could find someone willing to sell you one since they aren't made anymore. I'm down to 1 spare or I'd give you one. But you should really get away from those Seer style triggers. They gargle balls.
You got poisoned because theres a skull in the water.
💀🤙🏽
Glad you're OK. I and my boys are just getting started with spearfishing reef fish and cig poisoning is one of those things we're concerned about, but aren't very familiar with. Hearing your experience is helpful.
The guts and head I’ve heard has the most cig. Also bigger fish
What does "cig" mean
What does "cig" mean
@@revdecoitechu1517 ciguatera, poisonous biotoxin found in a lot of reef fish
I’m someone who is learning about all this could anyone explain what cig is ?🙏🏽
health.hawaii.gov/docd/files/2013/05/dib_ciguatera.pdf
There’s one link but you can just google ciguatera as well 💚🤙🏽
@@hawaiihammahs INTERESTING, I READ THE LINK
I get sick just seeing that scene on the shore 🤢 🤮
Lols for realzzz doh 😫

Ho Lester you fekeh

+1 for Magic juju
Yeee yeeew 😂🤙🏽
Totally RAD!
🔥🌊🔥
Quite happy this happened to you...leave the fish alone! 🐟 😊
Stfu, if people didn’t fish and hunt there would be an influx of certain species, which unless they’re endangered (and if he’s hunting them they aren’t) isn’t a good thing
@@trevonhensley6765 Nope 🙅♂️
What do you mean nope
@@trevonhensley6765 Not shutting the f up 😄
@@jonnieinbangkok oh, okay, but, like, do you get what I meant or are you gonna fail to understand basic logic?
that uku had choke cig for such severe symptoms
I should of mentioned though that I was eating A TON of reef fish for 2 months straight.. I'm sure that had a lot to do with it too
