Raised in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, Lee Alameida was surrounded by fishing throughout his upbringing. His grandfather along with the majority of his paternal family had a passion for Ulua (Giant Trevally) fishing, and it is through his grandfather where he first found his love for the sport of fishing.
As a natural progression from shoreline fishing, Lee began to fish for his own bait right off the kayak. Hooking into a Yellow Fin Tuna for the first time from a kayak, Lee found his true calling, and decided to focus his efforts on kayak fishing. In just a short time, Lee has become quite the local sensation, known as “Blue Ranger” by islanders, referencing his unmistakable Ford, which can be spotted at local fishing spots on any given day.
