The Kill Shot

149

so happy to see Nao-san enjoying the beauty of Japan!  

if you haven’t tried free diving, i would highly recommend it to you.  you will see experience peace at its best…

Nao-san is lucky i wasn’t diving with her because i would shoot that fish and eat it for dinner.  she’s an observer and i’m a hunter.  haha.

i will never forget this day at HT’s in the Mentawai Islands.  the waves we got were incredible.  i wouldn’t be surprised if it was the biggest and best it ever got out there.  i can’t imagine it being better than that.  here is Hayato Maki getting ready for the barrel of his life.  i’m pretty sure he didn’t forget that day too…

when you shoot a big fish, you basically have one shot.  if you shoot the fish right, it will die instantly.  if you don’t, there’s a good chance you will lose the fish and it will swim off and die later.  so when you see a monster fish like this swimming by you, you better be calm and aim right.  and if you think keeping calm is easy, it’s not.  my heart was pumping when i saw this big boy!
