What a Reel Day at the Waikine Wahine!
The village buzzed with excitement this past weekend as the 22nd annual Milolii Waikine Wahine Tournament brought together some of the fiercest female anglers from the area!
These ladies battled it out on the water, showcasing their skills and knowledge of Hawaiian fishing grounds. The camaraderie and competitive spirit were truly inspiring. Hand reels only, wahines only on the rods. It's a workout for sure.
Our parters Team Courtney and Justin won big, with biggest fish and biggest ahi to take home some wonderful prizes and a share of the pot. Big mahalos to my wahine friend Orchid for helping me and Team SZ reel in the Ono side pot. We ended up with four nice ones in the box including a double up.
A huge congratulations to this year's winner of the Captains Raffle, sponsored by Alaska Strike Zone Sportfishing ! Chelsea Fa'avesi wins an Alaskan fishing charter for four! We can't wait to take you out to reel in some salmon up north!

Little bit of a personal post: Stormi here. Team SZ is pumped for the season and are ready to make your Alaska Strike Zone Sportfishing fishing charters experience amazing. Selling faster than usual so don't wait.
Thing is I've always been a little fishy. Think I'm about 4 here, elbows deep in steelhead guts at my grandma's kitchen sink. My dad used to take me down to the rivers in Oregon and we would cast and fish and find snagged up gear and usually bring home a couple for dinner. He had special access to all the good holes along the Wilson and Trask Rivers from the farmers along the banks.
In Alaska we fished for food and fun too. I caught this guy off the shelf on the west side of Zarembo with my Dad. Thought I would post it for you know, the halibut. 🐟🎣💙. POW was excellent for some whopper kings, as many coho as you could fit on the boat, and the best halibut were just up off the north shelf. I know more ways to eat salmon than you can imagine, and yet I love it every day. That's the Norweigan genes I guess but I could cheerfully eat wild Alaska fish every day and often do.
It must be the Alaskan girl in me but every spring I have a strong urge to get the boat ready to go fishing . I crave the smell of boat gas, my cut down xtra-tuffs, the consultation of the tide book, and the lure of secret fishing holes. A picnic of cold seamart fried chicken, beer, and snickers. The hum of the engine as you bounce through the chop, the slow pace of the trawl, the sparkle of leaders and lures and the most beautiful words ever "Fish on !!!!!"
On the opposite side of Mother Pacific, there is nothing like the Ono run at sunrise, all the colors of sky and sea and land magnified as God intended. The village is the oldest existing fishing village on Hawaii and still lives by a very unique culture. To be accepted onto their onaha is an amazing blessing. The day we caught the Grander was one of the craziest scariest most awesome days so far, and the best part was donating it to the village so that everyone could share in the victory.
Now, I still get excited over my captains daily reports and photos, they are absolutely slaying it in the 99901 and it shows in our reviews and the smiles on our guests faces. Live the life you love, love the life you live.
If I had my little way, we'd go fishing every day. Peace love lets go fishing 🧜♀️💙🎣

Alaska Strike Zone Sportfishing is thrilled to announce our partnership with Ocean Janitors - a new non profit dedicated to keeping our oceans clean.
We've made our living from the ocean and respect its majestic might, from the North Ocean of Alaska to the South Seas of Hawaii. Saltwater runs in our DNA and veins. The fisheries that sustain us rely on a clean ocean and all good stewards of the seas can get behind a cause like this.
Did you know our oceans produce over half the oxygen we breathe? They're also vital for regulating our climate and teeming with life that feeds billions. Think about that next time you dig into some delicious Alaskan salmon or Hawaiian poke!
But the magic doesn't stop there. Imagine a world with no swashbuckling pirates or mythical mermaids - that's what we'd have without healthy oceans! That's why we're proud to partner with Ocean Janitors to keep our seas pristine. We invite you to follow their page, donate to their program, or inquire how you can get involved. When asked, it was an absolute YES for us at Team SZ.
Let's all do our part to protect this incredible resource. Here's to clean oceans, great fishing, delicious WILD Alaska seafood, and the legends of the deep!

Captain Logan wasn’t the only one out today, he and his guests came across this hardy fellow out for a swim. Alaska deer are excellent swimmers and are known to swim between the Southeast Islands often. #visitketchikan #ohdeer #letsgofishing #alaskacruise #thingsyouseeinalaska #BigDeerEnergy #alaskalife
Pacific octopuses are renowned for their impressive intelligence. They're problem solvers extraordinaire, capable of navigating mazes, unscrewing jars, and even escaping from complex enclosures. This knack for escape is partly due to their unique anatomy. Their boneless bodies allow them to squeeze through openings seemingly impossible for an animal their size. #pacificoctopus #houdini #alaskalife #letsgofishing #traveltoalaska #ketchikan #alaskacruise #alaskaadventure Alaska Strike Zone Sportfishing 🧜♀️💙🐙
