'Oama On The Run

Photos by Ken Ige, Star Bulletin

An 'oama, or juvenile goat fish, caught in waters off the Sand Island Marine Education Center.

This fishing duo from Waiau would only give their first names: Ian, left, and Gene, right. They're "hard core fishermen," Ian says. They go for "everything from marlin to 'oama." "But," Ian said, "my boat's broke, and here we are." They'll use the 'oama as bait for bigger game.
