LIHUE, Kauai — Firefighters have recovered two bodies off the shore of Kauai, and they believe they are two of three fishermen who went missing last weekend.

County officials say in a news release the bodies have not been identified, but a life jacket found was from the missing fishermen’s boat.

Kauai firefighters found the male bodies Friday.

The first was found about 4 p.m., about two to three miles off Anahola. The second was spotted about 5:30 p.m. about two miles off Wailua.

Kauai police are working to positively identify the bodies and notify family.

The fishermen, Jensen Loo, Clint Oshima and Derek Tomas, were reported missing late Sunday when they didn’t return from a fishing trip.

A boat believed to be the one the fishermen were in also was found.
