4. Eel snatching. Here is the method: It is hand fishing, the bait being held in the right hand, the left hand snatching [the eel]. These are the baits: Aama,30 paiea (rock crabs), and heepali. The place for this kind of fishing is along the black rocky seashore, the same as Kohala’s coast. There the fishing is done at high tide and when the sea is boisterous. The only fish to be caught is the eel.
