PIFG Tag-It Project

Thad Nakajima's been getting a lot of time on the flats. We can't keep up! Mahalo for the support!

Good morning session with and .win. Dino and I each went 1 for 2, losing both our first fish in an area with lots of coral heads. I had to cut off about 20m of braid that ran through some rocks. We were able to land our second ones in a less rocky area and Bobby got his on our walk in. Also got a decent sized weke. My ‘ō‘io was tagged and released, PIFG .

Thad Nakajima putting in the time and putting in the tags again this long weekend. Mahalo for the support!

"The plan was to do some sunset plugging this weekend but the weather was not looking good yesterday so and I went to the flats this morning instead. It was cold and windy with intermittent showers so the wading jacket was a must. The strong winds allowed us to get some distance on our casts though. Dino went 1 for 2 and I went 1 for 1. My ‘ō‘io was tagged and released, PIFG tag .

When it's working, you keep doing what's working. Congrats, Thad, on another nice fish to start the year! Thanks for supporting Tag it!

"After not finding any time to fish in 2026, I finally got a chance this chilly morning with .win and and landed my first fish. Got lucky with a nice sized ‘ō‘io that came in at 7lbs on the Boga. I saw this one tailing with a partner on a shallow reef edge next to a deep channel. Luckily when it hit, it took off onto the shallow flats rather than down into the channel to cut me off on the edge. Also got to test the Zenaq Inqlude Master Hand on a bigger fish and the rod had a really nice backbone for a rod that can cast the 1/8 oz jighead so well. Tagged with a healthy release, PIFG tag .
