| Hawaiian term for "fish on"
Hello:
Could someone tell me what the Hawaiian term is for "fish on"?
I think it sounds like "hana panu" as is actually translated as something like "I'm finished for the day"
Thanks.

hanapa'a literally translated steady employment, loosely translated hooked up/fish on/etc.etc...
pau = finished
hana = work
pau hana = finished work, which based on your last statement is what you were defining.

Literally translated is finished work; loosely translated means many things to many different people, way to many to try to define (obviously drinking beer is a very broadly accepted translation).
How's the boat coming along?

B.O.A.T translated literally means "break out another thousand"!!! mechanic is supposed to fit me in this week and i need to replace 2 racor filters, fuel it, and find out why my steering wheel thingy is leaking hydraulic fluids.....other than that all the electronics are installed, ripped out all of the rod holders and put in 3/4 inch star-board backing plates for all the rod holders and the gunnel mounted riggers i put in. boat's itching to get out there, and noel attacked his hand with a hole saw while trying to install the riggers, my first bloodydecks experience with the new boat.

Hanapa'a is the word. It means to fasten or make secure. Quote:

Thanks for the help.
For inquiring minds.
We found this abandoned chiuha dog on the beach. When we saw that he had been fixed, the term for "fish on / I'm done" came to mind. Now we know how to properly spell his name at the vets.

Or a guy who has the voice of a girl... or mahu.

Pau Hana: done, finished work/working
Hanapa'a: expression for hooking up, fish on, taking a strike
Bolo Head : no catch anything, white washed, skunked.... I know first hand, I get bolo head often enough
