Waves were fun this morning. Calm conditions and just a normal day at Bowls. Then we saw water splashing and fish jumping. I swim to check it out and it was a big GT hunting!
See that little stick fish on the surface? That’s what this giant fish was trying to eat. He didn’t care we were there.
As it got closer, I could see how big it was. I’m guessing 70lbs. and a lot of meat. I’m glad I got this photos because this is how GT’s approach you when you’re diving. Imagine seeing a big aggressive fish like this swimming directly to you. Sometimes it’s a fish, and sometimes it’s a shark. It’s not easy keeping calm but we’re in their world.
When small fish are in danger, they look for things to cling on. They feel safer near bigger objects so I don’t blame this little guy to take cover near us. Thank goodness a shark wasn’t chasing this. Haha.
This was the highlight for the day. I just love how unpredictable the ocean can be. It was a beautiful thing to see. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.
