I heard that they're are largemouth, smallmouth and peacocks in Hawaii. Has anyone chased all three there? How's the fishing? How does it compare to main-land fishing?

There are, but only on one of the islands( I forget wich one) and I think the record is around 8lbs

Kalua I believe is the name of the island, or at least that's close to the name

Kauai, I think was the island your referring to.  I'm headed to Maui in a month, and hope to find something to fish for there

There is a freshwater reservoir in Wahiawa on the island of Oahu. It is called lake Wilson by the locals. It has large mouth, small mouth, and peacock bass. I've cought large mouth and peacock bass there. the fishing there is differant on a day to day basis. The bigest problem is the rain run off that dirtys the water up pretty good, but the fish are there and fun to catch. Also, there are channal catfish that are easy to catch if the bass are not bitting that day. 

I have familyt up on Oahu and they bass fish often. Lake Wilson is in the middle of Oahu but it is drive from Honolulu. And is a man made lake filled with freshwater fish. Peacook Bass are found there and so are largemouth. There is also lots of Bream and for little kids it is great. But at the moment Lake Wilson is having water control problems. There is pollution issues and the water levels are incosistent. But in the Spring/Summer the water should be good to fish. Also the Lake is big enough for boats and you can rent a boat or go with a guide. The best time to catch the Peacooks is in the fall because the most humdity occurs and Peacooks are caught more. I have been to Lake Wislon and the bass seem to hit the same baits as the mainland. It is basically bass fishing anywhere just with the beauty of Hawaii in the background. The pollution is a problem but if you ever vist Hawaii check out Lake Wilson. Mahalo

Just to clarify the pollution problem, I was told it is caused from a combination of runoff and a nearby chicken farm. That deterred me from fishing there when I lived there. I took up Bone fishing with a fly rod instead.
