So I dunno how I discovered this channel. I’m not a big fish guy nor have I ever camped or eaten anything freshly harvested or caught. But man, this cancel is so relaxing to listen to. Opened my eyes to what’s possible! Great channel chef!
I hardly comment but totally love this episode. I like how you show the struggle of trying to catch a fish so that you can feed yourselves. You two totally compliment each other. Ryan catches the fish and Taku makes an epic meal out of it. Ryan is such a cool dude. Very easy going and one of those people that you want as a friend. I hope you two make more videos together in the future.
So cool and nostalgic! I lived 35 years on Oahu and did lots of camping/fishing/surfing trips to the outer islands. Lots of Opi’hi on the outer islands, Oahu is mostly fished out. Spiny lobster is so sweet! A’ama crabs we used to catch using a long forked stick with a piece of fishing line tied between the “Y” section of the stick. The crabs don’t run away from the stick so we’d lower it toward the crab on the rocks and try to get the fishing line right between the crab’s eye and the head. As soon as the line touched that area, the crab pulls his eyes down into the sockets of its head and traps the fishing line between the eye stalk and head. Caught! Very old Hawaiian trick for catching A’ama crabs. Way easier than chasing the fast little buggers around the rocks. Great catch and cook as usual! I miss Hawaii immensely even though I’ve only been gone 3 years, now in Washington State. Mahalo nui loa for the great channel and your buddy Ryan is No Ka oi! (The best!) 🤙🏼
@@jtf267, That’s for sure! I love Washington! Caught my first couple salmon up here, lots of trout, Dungeness crab is by far the best crab in my opinion. The mountains in the Pacific Northwest are stunning and wild. I miss Hawaii for some things, but it’s so isolated and hot all the time. It got boring. Plus, you have to be rich to actually live there now and most folks can’t even afford to enjoy what Hawaii has to offer. Like a lot of folks from Hawaii (I work with four guys from Hawaii), we’re all Washington people for life now! Most of us will never move back to Hawaii and most can hardly afford to visit it. Oh well, here you can travel the United States in a car for thousands of miles and see different things. In Hawaii, you only drive in a circle and see only the same things over and over for years. Hard to imagine “Paradise” getting boring to most people, but I assure you it does.
I love your videos with Ryan he is so positive and seems like a good guy to do these trips with. I love the foraging type of videos you should totally do a longer challenge but maybe with the ability to have someone check in in case y’all need anything or bring an emergency stockpile or something I get worried when you don’t catch anything haha
Great Duo and teamwork! Glad you have been showing some of the losses on these last few videos! We all experience those and lots of times they are more memorable!! I grew up doing these type things with my buddies! Our harvest consisted more of venison, catfish, bream, wild turkey, hogs, redfish, gators, swamp cabbage, and greens but we always survived and made life-long friends and memories! Love both of you guys channels!
At 27:00 the fish that bit your line was an aha or houndfish in English. They sit up top on the water column here in Hawaii. You have to let the bait dive deep when close to shore. Trolling will put them in the aha zone
Aloha Taku! I appreciate Taku Tuesday’s and especially I appreciate that you’re in Hawaii my home filming and presenting right. Hope the land and ke Akua will take care of you while in the Aina. Keep them coming! Mahalo and aloha!
killer vid taku! you need to do some shore jigging and do a camping trip off the rocks at south point next time you come! it’s crazy how good the fishing is! we could get you all kinds of good fish to chef up. take care thanks for visiting
Looks like you came to the bigisland when we still had good weather! Now we have been in heavy rain for weeks now 😢😂 great content as always bradda!! Aloooohaaaa 🤙🏽🤙🏽 ☀️ 🏝️
When you were slow-trolling that live Opelu and it got cleanly cut in half, that was an Ono my friend. Ono’s jaws are like a pair of scissors. They cut cleanly. Every other fish would tear the bait. Ono cut like a knife. I’ve caught many Ono through the years in Hawaii and when the bait is cut perfectly, you just lost an Ono. They see the hook and avoid it. Smart and fastest pelagic fish in the ocean. Me and my fishing partner were trolling from Oahu to Molokai to escort the canoe and paddle-board races back to Oahu. All the escort boats traded fish for Molokai sweet bread and Molokai watermelon with the locals who showed up for these events. Did this for years. Just outside Hale ‘O Lono harbor we hooked a Mahi. My buddy was the owner and captain of the boat, I’m on deck reeling in a Mahi just outside the harbor entrance. I got the small Mahi right to the rail and an Ono came rushing in and hit the swivel on the leader. Cut the line, released the Mahi and we lost the Mahi, the swivel, and a $50 trolling lure. The Ono was just attacking the stainless swivel. I saw all this happen and man was it cool to watch. Other times, I’m just setting out our trolling spread and as soon as the lure touched the water, an Ono grabbed it. They’ll beat up your lures, tear the hell out of your skirts, but man, they are one of the very best tasting fish in the ocean. “Ono” in Hawaiian means, “Good tasting”. And yep, they are definitely that. Just watch those scissor jaws they have. They’ll lop off a finger in a heartbeat if you’re not careful. Thanks for the great channel and reminding me of so many stories I have from fishing in Hawaii. Aloha. 🤙🏼
Taku, glad you're enjoying the delicious ocean life. Try some namako [sea cucumber]. There you are at the southern most point of the U.S.A. Tight lines
Right on Taku.. that is a true Hawaiian Adventure... That is a true Hawaiian experience... we Kanakas love to camp and eat from ocean... Opihi is a Hawaiian delicacy!! Aloha Malama pono!!
I know I’m pretty late on seeing this video but so awesome that you made it to Hawaii. I’m from Kauai but the Big Island gots some epic fishing spots. And that one part where you were dragging that Opelu and got a bite but it came off and frayed your line could have possibly been a Ono or maybe a small sail fish. I’m pretty sure if your hook was a little bigger and did a double hook set up ( one through its nose and one above the tail) would have bettered your chances of hooking up to a fish with live opelu. Hope to see you back in Hawaii doing another series of videos, a survival 3 days or 5 days eating only what you catch would be epic! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Absolutely love your channel and the hawaii episodes have been my favorite cause i love hawaii so much. But. I think itd be amazing if you did a week “wilderness survival” on an island somewhere in Australia
So surprised to see you down south point !! Haven’t been home in forevers , my family does shuttles down to the green sands beach down there hope you got to check um out but yeah my family ties to south point or Ka’u runs deep glad you got to see my home 🤙🏻🤙🏻
🌴 tells Jocelyn we had to ruff it ! ( crab, lobster, sashimi, )😄. Hell I’d been happy with the bait chub mackerel you were catching grilled some butter and lemon or ponzu , after all its outdoor chef life 👈🏻👍🏼
I've been a fan of the channel for a long time ,every time your videos come up i get so excited.. .. ..Loved this camping videos keep them coming ..i would love to see a 3 to 7 day survival challenge.. break them down in to a few videos.. much respect to you and beautiful girlfriend..
Most epic adventure mission strike big but not landing it. The controversy was real! Loved the delicious meal and so stoked you got to taste our spiny lobster or ʻUla and our ʻOpihi! More adventures like this paired with other master gatherers! Can’t wait for my kelp chili crisp!
one of my favorite episodes, I have been fishing a long time and never ever seen that bait and switch ever happen. Maybe a circle hook might help when ono and other fast fish are on the chew - Hanapa'a. I was watching and thinking I would like to try doing that same kayak trip until I saw your exit up the ladder - that was funny but No Way wouid I want to do that!
Taku Tuesday! I'd like to see an episode where Taku tries all the different kinds of sea urchan for unit (da green ones, da pink one, da big ones, the one with the long-long spines) and also, like to see one on good old reef fishing like I did as a kid, like to see Taku catch one weke moana that fish is the best! (but avoid the weke kea, the nightmare weke).
Yea taku,I know that feeling,whole day fishing and nooooooo fish caught 😅but no hard feelings,it’s not just fishing,is more than fishing😊 Go back and get them next time
Damn crazy to see southpoints ladder like that. My grandma lived in Naalehu for 14 years and always remembered going jumping into the blowhole and off the edge.
So I dunno how I discovered this channel. I’m not a big fish guy nor have I ever camped or eaten anything freshly harvested or caught. But man, this cancel is so relaxing to listen to. Opened my eyes to what’s possible! Great channel chef!
Now buy yourself a tent, a kayak and a fishing rod and get to it. :)
There's nothing like cathing your own fresh food
Hanging out with Ryan seems to be an adventure package. Dude does it all.
Dude gives off super good vibes too. Seems like a really chill, positive guy.
He seems like the kind of friend you curse for making you wake up at 5 in the morning, then are glad to have gone out once you're out on the boat.
Dudes a kook, absolutely 0 appreciation.... Its all for likes

So different but Good fishing, clamming, crabbing in Washington too.

The chaos makes it most interesting. Funny too.
Wouldn't be Outdoor Chef Life without sashimi by an open fire.
Facts!

epic adventure. Going that extra distance is how you find the good stuff. Glad you guys respect the location.
The sunset is BEAUTIFUL!!!
This video made me feel like I'm getting a small glimpse into how our ancestors lived. So awesome!!!
This was a great combo channel expedition. Can't wait to see Ryan's angle of this trip.
Whaaat. He swam behind you for 2 miles. Wow !! 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Ryan an amazing guide and nothing but good vibes! Love it- good stuff!
Yes sir that's the best view to wake up too. It's a privilege to experience such things in the HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
Thanks for the video…super cool adventure…stay safe and take care !!
Ryan is just an awesome spirit. Seems like a very nice guy eho kindly appreciates the little things and throws out compliments.

Yo..son just ordered you Kelp chill.
One Love. Enjoy your videos bro
🤙🤙💪💪💪
Yessaaa you and Ryan the best.. waiting for next adventure..
Next trip, use a bigger hook for your live bait or the same rig u use to catch your flounder. But you all killed it!!!!
Livin' off the land, er, ocean. I'm so jellie.
Adding your friend 'pushing' the boat makes you guys an appetizing top water lure.
South point Big Island is a great spot...
Uhhhmazing video.. everything looked so delicious.
Buggers! So bummed this series is ending. Looooved seeing all the adventures but excited to see the New Zealand journey too! 🤩🤠
Love the videos bro keep them coming the best thank you
Taku, glad you're enjoying the delicious ocean life. Try some namako [sea cucumber]. There you are at the southern most point of the U.S.A. Tight lines

Awesome video Taku!
