Menpachi (Soldierfish) School with Hawaiian Acacia Koa veneer frame and acid free mat. These night feeders have huge eyes as they eat shrimp, crabs, and fish. They are also called U'u by Hawaiians and are a local favorite to both catch and eat.
Mu (Porgy) caught by artist Takeo from the South side of the Island of Hawaii. As the Mu swims, the stripes on it's body are pronounced in it's environment. Feeding on crustaceans, these fish have teeth like human molars for crushing on the shells of fish and crab.
Aweoweo (Glasseye) caught on the Island of Hawaii. This Aweoweo is lit up with spots as it feeds the depths of the ocean at night. The pupil of this fishes eye is clear like glass, hence it's name, Glasseye. It's fine scales are like sandpaper, it's body narrow but tall, which makes it a good fighter on rod and reel.
Uku (Grey Snapper) caught by Takeo on the South side of the Island of Hawaii. Mounted in matte black frame and black acid free mat. Uku are often blueish green when they are full of life, sometimes even having stripes. This uku ate a piece of tako (octopus) bait, one of it's favorite meals.
