6wt Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 The reason why I came here… My guide was Teihotu’s son, Manea…his grandpa was Marlon Brando. When Marlon Brando was filming “Mutiny On The Bounty “ in 1962, he fell in love with his Tahitian costar Tarita Teriipaia…had two children with her, His son Teihotu and daughter Cheyenne. He then bought the island of Teti’aroa from France for $250,000…what a bargain the metal tipped pole Manea is carrying was to chase sharks away while fishing…and had to use it frequently. I lost two big bonefish to lemon sharks… 1 Link to comment
