I tagged it and released it, and watched what could’ve been a real good dinner swim away. It was only 13 inches, but it must’ve weighed a pound and a half or a little over because it was so fat. I took matters into my own hands and grabbed the net, and netted the real fat moi. I yelled for the net and my mom came, and she started recording instead of handing me the net. A really fat moi had surfaced with my oama in its mouth. I reeled it in thinking the whole time it was a Papio, but it fought differently than I was used to. Immediately after, the bell started to ring again and the reel started to scream a little. After I untangled it, I put it back in the pole holder. The line was still halfway in while I was untangling it. Someone had tangled my line and I reeled it in to untangle it. I started to dunk some oama and then I heard the bell ring. I landed it, and it was a decent sized 16 inch Kaku, and really fat for its size. I was tempted to set the hook right there, but I let it swallow it and then set the hook. I put on an oama and started whipping with it, and I was just about to take it out of the water when a Kaku came out of nowhere and inhaled it. But that was sadly the whole school of Toau.

I learned how to successfully throw it and landed three Toau in short order. But if the water had been deeper, it wouldn’t have ended so well. Luckily, I had brought my nine foot net, and I just scooped it up. I had never handlined with a spool before, so unfortunately on the first toss I tossed both the bait and the $15 dollar spool of line in the water.
Since both of my poles were occupied, I set up a handline. I caught two Kaku on back to back casts on the Kastmaster, but then, after that I decided to go after some of the toau. Within an hour I was already soaked with sweat and it looked like I had actually fallen in the pond. When I got there, the conditions were pretty good for fishing, but it was also very humid due to the rain the night before, and no wind at all. This would be my ninth time fishing at the Heeia Fishpond, and I was hoping to take advantage of the rising tide for most of the time that I would be fishing there.
