I believe it was back in 1989, when my family moved(Dec. 1988) to an island called Saipan, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, in the Pacific Ocean, first fish I caught was a parrot fish(but the bait was not seaweed. Some blue, others green, and the others we called 'Rainbow fish' for the colors so like rainbow: and parrot fish my friends and I used as a bail to catch bigger food fish. Market people wanted me to catch more parrot fish and sell for it was quite expensive: very good and expensive food fish they are. About 10 years ago one of my friends told me I could use seaweed as bait I did not 100% believed his word, but I see you are doing it. I wish I could spare some time to go fishing with my children as my father did with me nearly 30 years ago. Thank you for the opportunity I can recall one of my happy moment in my life.

Ive been watching your video for a long time, and in the past you would alway put the fishing rods and reels in your descriptions. How you no longer do that? I thought it was a great thing for us viewers. It lets viewers know what types of fish their gear if the same or similar can handle. Just a thought. Keep up the great work.

You got to be sure to release those carefully because parrotfish are crucial to reef health. They fished them out in Jamaica and the reef was covered in nuisance algae. Only now after many years is the reef starting to come back.

This is my kind of fishing. I dont always go for the giants but rather interesting and unique fish. A good example is a lot of the trout I catch in Michigan. There is so much variation even within a given species.

More than likely, these arent two different species. but rather the blues are the larger males, and the gray fish are the smaller females. scarids (parrotfish) are protogynous sequential hermaphrodites.

I knew baits have become tougher over the years but I never thought it would coming down to cast-netting weeds and sight-fishing parrotfish.
