Find Your Footing Some cast by shore or in boats, others, like Hawai‘i Island’s Gerald Yoro, do it the more traditional way: throwing net. Requiring nimble steps and the element of surprise, a net-fisherman must hide from the fish by not casting a shadow. As hard as this method may be, Yoro fishes sustainably, throwing back younger, smaller fish with the hope that one day they might become what he’s looking for.
