Captain Teoni was born on Oahu and the grandson of legenary WWII veteran and Waianae fisherman Captain Bob Black. Captain Teoni often fishes the same grounds where he and his grandfather fought a giant for 12 hours before finally losing it to sharks. That day is long past but the hope of landing a fish like that keeps him waking up every morning with optimism and he enjoys sharing soiries with his guests from all across the big beautiful USA.
