Aku, bonito, caught with rod and fly. The bait is the iiao which is cast into the sea, preferably alive. The aku follows the bait, which is cast from the rear end of the canoe. The rod and fly meanwhile are cast and the fly is taken by the fish. This was the fish for which the old-time pearl hooks were used. ↑
