dc.description	John “BJ” Kahele Jr. (Galieto) was born and raised in South Kona on the C.Q. Yee Hop Ranch. His mother, Lillian Leinani Kelepolo was from Hōnaunau and his father, John Halena Kahele was from Miloliʻi. He graduated from Konawaena High School and went into the Army for two years during the Vietnam War, although he was stationed in Heidelberg, Germany. He lived and worked in Honolulu at a car wash, a towing service and as a tour guide. When he returned to Kona, he worked in construction, but then he decided that he wanted to work as a canoe fisherman. John began to canoe fish out of Hōnaunau, learning from the old time fishers of that area. He fished for ahi and ʻono and caught ʻōpelu for bait. John Kahele shares his knowledge and experience with the ʻōpelu fishers and their boats. No longer fishing, he manages the parking at the Saint Benedict church parking lot at the Hōnaunau boat ramp.
