Hawai’i Skin Diver 21st Century State Spearfishing Records (Last update: 09.15.08)
Record fish must be captured within the “spirit” of spearfishing guidelines. The wild, unrestricted, uninjured fish must be speared with a muscle-powered device while breath-hold diving during daylight hours. The spearfisherman should be reasonably unassisted. Fish must be speared within the main Hawaiian Islands. Eligible fishes include any “generally accepted” game fish. We are accepting retroactive applications for fish speared after January 1, 2000. Records will be awarded only to fishes which meet documentation requirements and can be independently verified.
