In 1980 went on a job for 3 weeks in Hawaii stayed at Holiday Inn "I" in Waikiki ,a park separated us from the beach , we were ahead of schedule and was given the Sunday off so we chartered a boat and went fishing , finally got my 1st fish never had any luck with fresh water, we were told it was off season for fishing but we manage to catch 2 and raised the flag on the boat, winning fish was 45 lbs. the second was 20 lbs.and I won the pool for the biggest fish, Imagine carrying a fish this size on foot back to the hotel, don't how many times I was stopped to take a picture , I did see "BUD" hauler rigs had nice shiny rims even the trailers, Polished aluminum or stainless inserts didn't get close enough, I was surprised to see hot rod muscle cars , modified Bugs as under cover cars pulling people over withe those portable roof lights
