Tried to watch ,didn't make it all the way thru. For those of you in the know can
a native Hawaiian kayak angler sell their catch or do they have some sort of commercial license?

If you are selling your catch you need to have a commercial license. Even in Hawaii were you don't need a fishing license to fish recreationally. See link below.

I watched about 15minutes of it.

It was like watching another one of those HH videos

Dude I heard your on crack.
Is that why u couldn't sit thru it?

Can't stand the drama, felt like I was watching the Kardashians on kayaks.....I'll pass

Caught the show this morning and loved it... Get to see many different types of kayaker and methods of take..

Not seeing how it's like wicked tuna or the drama as each have their own personal goals and not competing with each other.. And great footage as well..

Did enjoy seeing the rookie not listen to the seasoned pro and have to be rescued by a boat.. Sounds like he would fit right in at LJ 😊

👍🏽

Not a fishing show and not a full blown drama, somewhere in between.

I'll take any little bit of fishing I can get on TV, but I wish it was more catching and less lip smacking. It was the first show so we'll see how it goes. Hopefully the fishing will ramp up.

I thought it was pretty darn good. I would watch it just for the cinematography alone. Great camera work. :luxhello:

I fished with local guys when I lived in Kaneohe, Oahu from 2002-2004. We would come to the docks and sell fish all the time. People would ask and you could sell. If the docks were empty you just put a sign up in your front yard and people would stop in to buy fish. We had no fishing license let alone a commercial license.

Tie a tea leaf on the boat and head out.

Same reason I liked River Monsters. They had to have a hacky mystery to keep the attention of a general audience, but the cinematography far surpassed anything on the WFN with often times better fishing as well.

I liked the cinematography as well but lost interest quickly.

Didn't dig the brotherhood (we all know about it), fishing for cash, running with rocks, biting the octopus, ect. Also during the two tuna hook-ups the reel went from a gold Penn to a black Penn several times which makes you question the validity of the show. I also believe the sleigh ride they show in the opening is actually tied to a boat.

Seems like they had to write a story-line some where between Deadliest Catch and Wicked Tuna. Not my cup of tea as it does not reflect reality.

It's a TV show, had to keep repeating that while I watched.

A pet peeve of mine with fishing shows is dubbing in the clicker sound when fighting a fish. Now everytime I see a shiny gold Penn Torque that dreaded noise will replay in my head. :p

Also incontinuinity with shots. Noticed the same exact rod used for bendo shots for two different scenes, one with Rob and once with Jon Jon. This was a custom rod ( yellowish wraps with dragon scale ) and I doubt they both ordered the same exact one.

Hated the Boogie D segments. Over dramatized. Having his client jump into shark infested waters to untangle the rudder or else "he can't paddle in" :rolleyes: . A good guide would paddle over and help no? Also if so dangerous, why is the camera man in the water with him? And losing visual with your client even with a camera crew on a boat?

Always liked Rob since watching those Penn promo vids. 800 bucks for a 40# tuna though? It's been 2 bucks a pound here in SD, straight from the RSW.

Jon Jon is funny. I like his DGAF I'm gonna get a WR marlin campain. Can't wait to see more of him.

And Kimi biting the octopus to kill it, hell yeah!

Would like to see more footage of the local life, food, wahines. :cool:

Overall like the show. It's no accurate depiction, well cause it's gotta appeal to the masses. That said can't wait to see the new wave of kayak fisherman out on the water expecting the type of fishing they watch on TV.

I thought it was ok....
 

Not sure if the show will work....but I guess it remains to be seen. It's different from wicked tuna and the deadliest catch in the sense that there is no competition between the teams/groups of the show. So there's only one set of commercial guys...and everyone else does their own thing...?

The whole carrying rocks underwater to train for kayakfishing was a bit much...I did get a kick outta that one...

The camera crew should have come to lj yesterday, they could have filmed me carrying my PA underwater upside-down

AGAIN!!!

It was alright, I enjoyed it. Didn't care for the repeated bendo shot reel screem. I hope we don't see that 10 times every show. But I always enjoy a good fish and catch especially with the Kayaks. Biting the head of the octopus was cool. It turned white & went limp instantly. I'm gonna try that with my next Yellow.:yt::drool5:

I'll watch it again!

Yep.......sometimes we make it, sometimes we don't.

Plus it can't hurt business :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

The whole carrying rock under water is what deep divers do to train underwater. Don't see the point unless he was going to go spear..

But none the less I'm going to try that in LJ and see if that helps me launch better..

I thought it was pretty cool. I didn't like some of the cut in scenes during the fights showing the wrong rods and reels, I was checking out their boats and their rigging but it was hard to even see their live bait tanks. That dude on a tandem with outriggers.. I don't know but that seems like cheating. Some footage of dynamite fishing would be cool.

I think the one guy is one of the fellow BWE guys. I recognized a clip that he posted here prior to with the shark. They used it on the opener to the show. Also the Marlin scene. Not for sure if its him or not, but it looks like him Kau Grown. Rob

Anyone pick up the setup when using dead bait that makes it appear to swim like a live bait ?

Thanks for posting the link to the original post JeffB. The original video of catching the marlin is actually better than most of the Pacific Warriors show. I guess it's because it's more of the catching and less manufactured Hollywood BS you see on all the so called reality shows. I hope the future shows have more fishing shots and less BS. Do you really thinks that the camera boat could have lost sight of the younger kayaker. It amazes me how stupid people can be to believe all the BS on the "Not Real" reality shows.

I think it was just a swivel to a 20' leader. It was the tuna he had to hand line up the last 20' because the swivel won't fit through the guides.

I thought the show was a great watch. Entertaining and if you look at it from a beginner stand point, it does offer what dreams you can achieve in the sport of fishing on plastic. The show also highlight safety so it should enlighten some people.

Hey its another kayak show! :luxhello: There's too many boating show and not enough kayak show. And its another spot light that shines on the kayak fishing community to showcase you could still tackle that 100+ lbs pelagic on a piece of plastic. :the_finger:

Can't wait to see the rest of the season and see how it plays out.

Thought it was great! Showed the world(who knows nothing about our addiction) a glimpse of what kayak fisherman do. I've seen dudes turn tail at the LJ launch because they were scared of knee slappers, the conditions they were fishing in were extreme compared to what we are normally faced with. It was entertaining so say the least. Those of you who lost interest quickly probably did so as the babe in the two piece came on.... To each his own! I was sweating more watching this than I do watching cops...

The show was alright, I enjoyed it. They have to add the drama because most of the audience has zero experience with kayak fishing. Now my Co workers will think I'm a bad ass when I tell them I'm going Kayak fishing! :cool:

Just the trailer was enough for me. Way too dramatic and way too much attitude. Absolutely beautifully filmed above and below water for sure. I think making kayak fishing in to an "extreme sport" is ridiculous. Mike

I missed the show, but is is on again at 11 AM this morning and I will watch it.

So we are bad ass now?

I learned never to go fishing with dynamite. Lol

I liked the show. Good but not great photography, IMO.

Of course they have to sensationalize aspects of the show, but overall pretty cool.

They showed huge Hawaii waves but NO kayak entry or exiting those waves, ;)

The guy freaks out (for the camera) oh my gawd bro I got a really big shark on ..... really. Same thing happens daily in La Jolla :D

Rescues at sea, at least two this week in La Jolla.

available online now :D

I haven’t seen the show yet, but there are countless ways to rig up strips, pieces, skinned, whole, filleted,etc to resemble the real thing. A common method is to use an egg sinker and bridle it in the chin section of your favored local fresh dead forage. Butterflied baits is a another great way to stay active with the dead stuff. In this months issue that just came in my mailbox a couple days ago of Florida Sport Fishing Journal / November-December 2015, there was a similar section on stitching and rigging a variety of dead baits for attracting offshore Pelagic application(s). Possibilities are endless..:reel:

Oops. Didn't realize that the link was posted already.

Personally, I enjoyed the show. As I don't get Jim Sammon's show on Direct TV, I liked the fact that it showed salt water kayak fishing. It will certainly give the sport a lot more noteriety, (not sure that that's a good thing though). I'm hoping that the up coming episodes will show more actual fish catching, techniques, etc.... But I'll definitely watch it again and see if it grows on me like Wicked Tuna did, (wasn't sure that I liked it at first, but then got hooked).
