Don't ask how I knew how to spell it.

I can think of one: Papi Kualoa is found mostly only in the Hawaiian Island waters. But for North America in general, then Ulua Khikhi (Threadfin Jack), or O'opu Kai Nohu (Scorpion Fish)

Clown Trigger, maybe? Not even gonna try the correct spelling without looking it up.


OK, I cheated, found it's the longnose butterfly fish,
umaumayomama or something, whatever!

I'm guessing it's " Humu­humunuku­nuku­āpuaʻa" , it's a trigger fish in Hawaii. ~Good luck catchin'.
