I had the privilege of visiting Bill at his tackle shop on the island of Oahu where he talks story with me on his humble roots growing up in Hawaii, finding his his love for fishing, and creating the famous HIFishGear.com. Bill also shares his perspective on the multi-cultural roots of Hawaiian fishing, the various fish species that are highly prized in his local waters, and overall a fun chat about many different aspects of pursuing fish.
