good evening. wow, what a pretty long day it was. busy busy and busy but once i hit the water, nothing else was on my mind. it was just me and the ocean…
shun came in today. he came out of customs smiling and the first thing he asked me was “nami dou”…. which means, “how are the waves”…. what a cute kid….
hayato finally speared a couple of big kumu’s. he started diving about 5 years ago and was trying to catch a big one since then. now, he knows how to find and stalk kumu’s so he’s going to be having awesome dinners. once again, this is the prize fish in hawaii and if you ever had the chance to taste one, you’ll know why.. next thing on hayato’s mind is a big ulua or “GT”…. by the way, hayato also speared a good size “ika”, “cumicumi”, or squid. a rare thing to spear in hawaii….
naoka, hayato, and i speared so many fish today. it’s back to the north shore tomorrow so it will be fresh fish on the go-naminori house dinner menu. these are the prize fishes. don’t touch it… haha…
this was our catch today. not bad for 3 guys yeah? naoka is getting better and better and i hope he can spear a kumu before he goes back to japan…. oh, see that ika in the middle?
here it is.. ikadakimasu!!! it was swimming at 3pm in the open ocean, then it was on our dinner table at 6pm…. that’s the rewards of diving… can’t get any fresher… thanks hayato for the ika….
**by the way, there was an aggressive shark where we were diving. every time i speared a fish, it would come up to try to eat it off my spear. i kicked it twice with my fins and he still didn’t want to leave. the shark has to be over 12′ for me to give up my dinner. i’m freaking so tired. going to surf all day tomorrow… have a safe evening and hope you don’t see any sharks tonight….
