Probably, as most, thought "I'll be fine". More likely scenario: just trying to keep food on the table and could not afford a flotation device. Sad, indeed.

I've seen the trucks the fisherman drive down there to fish, "could not afford a flotation device" is unlikely. Those poles and reels aren't cheap either and a lot of guys fish with 3 or 4 lines in the water. I think it has more to do with a local (as in East side of Hawaii Island) culture that is a little too macho to wear flotation devices while fishing.
