Warm Memories

Well, it's winter time. I know the trout are active, but I'm not yet desperate enough to stand outside and swing nymphs through the water, hoping a little hatchery fish hooks itself. Instead, I thought I'd recall some nice warm fishing memories instead.
My friend Kirk took this picture in Hawaii some years back. We were fishing one of his secret ulua spots when I caught this wrasse. I'm not sure what species it is, but in Hawaii, people call it a 'table boss' because at the end of the meal, this guy is the last one on the table! I didn't keep this fish so I can't say how it would have tasted, but regardless of flavor it was fun to catch.
