i usually don’t anchor Mayuki when it’s over 60′ deep. the reason is when the anchor gets stuck, i always have to maneuver the boat and dive down for the anchor at the same time. it’s precision timing and it doesn’t always work. so now that the boys can dive that deep, i throw the anchor at any depth. they can get it, and then i can hunt for fish too!
i followed 2 eagle rays and was just watching them swim on by. then at the corner of my eye, i saw this nice Uku checking me out. so i hide behind the eagle rays and waited for my shot. the Uku came in, i got the shot, and this was the best sashimi ever!
i was watching the boys dive. first Joshua shot a nice amberjack, then wisely, he left the fish dangling on his shaft. that created another amberjack to get curious and that’s when Seth went down to get that one.
it’s so cool to see the boys connect with nature like this. they are so calm and so happy. and the best part is they will never starve in their lifetime. i’m so proud of them!
i was cleaning out my garage and throwing so many things away. i came across these fish scales. i had them for 25 years and i’ve weighted my biggest fish with it. but now i don’t care about how heavy my fish are because i just judge it on how many people it could feed. so i’ll give it to the boys so they can weigh their fish. then they can’t exaggerate when i ask them how big it was. haha…
