Fishing For Hawaii's Invasive Grouper, Roi

Can’t wait to visit the big island, finally getting off maui

Lessgo

I just saw a video of some boys on Oahu that eat the roi. They say ulua are just as likely to carry ciguatera and everyone eats them so why not eat roi. I still haven’t tried.... I dont know if I will

Anyone else here from Maui have any good spots?

Yessahh

Did those people just not care you were fishing there? They seemed to just go back and fourth right through your area lol.

Hoooo hows da braddahs on da shore art in the beginning yessahhhhhh

that looked like a 100 year old ghost crab

they shud make poopaa state fish cuz its usually what i catch

Roi Boy! YEEE! Bay look prime for some paddle fishing, supah glass! Choice Fishin Cuz 🤙🏼

nice work braddah!

Awesome video 🤙🏾

Good thing the Manini never make state fish, otherwise we'd have lost some great bait!

Are those not edible ???

Aye that small boy with the floaties is my girlfriends nephew 😂😂

It's really cool and amazing.

Yoo I was just out there in March, fishing and snorkeling that beach! If you go out to the edge of the wall on the left there were some huge Roi hanging under rocks out there. Really made me wish they allowed spearfishing for roi out there.
I also swam with two 40-50lb Ulua that were cruising the sand patch in the middle of the beach.

You dunked with a hammer bomb? If you did I did not know you could do that. Is it best to dunk with them in Sandy Areas Only?

People dangle.......Hahaha!!🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing!!!

Grouper in the States are awesome eating,are they not good to eat over there?

Nice people. Us fishermen have to move or get dirty looks and cursing if we fish around swimmers

Looks very similar to what we call a coral trout in oz. Prized eating fish, pretty much what everyone chases out the reef.

What's the Big Island like during the pandemic? Must be nice not having all the outside visitors, but how are jobs and income going? Mahalo . Love your channel.

🔥

Just moved to the big island. My son and I are stoked to get some good fish on! Love the channel man good work.

I shot a Roy twice as big along the southpoint cliff. We need to get more invasive Turney going

If Hawaii had a re vote on state fish. That would not be the winner lol

What brand is your pole and rod on this vid?

How do you like the pliers you were using. I’m looking to get a pair. Any suggestions for a good pair/brand?

You sound like me when I switch baits. I'm constantly seeing what works in the short time I have

Yoooooo its me Manny how or you doing I'm stale fishing like all ways

I love eating peacock grouper in maldives

Roi is a very delicious eating fish! Better then Kumu?
It has a bad reputation for ciquatera poisoning.
I use to eat them before, not today. Aloha

I just watched this video. I want to thank you for sharing the information about the ROI. No doubt I would have eaten all I caught worth keeping. That is definitely a no no. Do you have, or could you make a video about types of other reef fish we should not keep?

Roi get choke ciguatera but I heard they taste alright...
