What Night Fishing in Hawaii Looked Like in 1948

History Daily

The beauty of this photo being colorized is that now you can see the blazing fire that this fisherman is holding. Back in the day, the fire was used as the light that would help lead the way in order for them to go spear fishing, using a pole called kukui-nut. While the fire would help with light, it also aided in bringing fish forward to make it easier to catch them. The poles were made with strong native wood and coconut leaves, and had to be at least six to seven feet in length. One has to wonder if they still go spear fishing like this until today.
