`Opelu fishing ... it's very spiritual style of fishing. That enters me a lot... From upbringing and from handed-down, the parents and the families and the people there, they have a traditional way of training the type of fish, you know, where people highly respect it. And they have kinda kept up that management related to the tradition and way, so they can prolong the cycling of the fish, be there all the time... Tuna comes certain time. But `opelu fishing, it has to be more family oriented, related to that type of fish where people got to understand the ground, learn the currents.
