Headshot and Steamer

37

We’ve been having an amazing month for free diving and spearfishing.  The girls can hold their breath and hunt for their own food now.  They know how unpredictable the ocean can be.  Sometimes you won’t see a thing, and sometimes you will see an amazing thing.  Imagine hunting for fish and then you look up and see a pod of dolphins also hunting.  This was a very rare experience and luckily we have the photos to relive it over and over.

There is a spot I call my “refrigerator.”  When ever I go there, I drop down to 30′ and watch all the beautiful fish swimming around.  I wait and wait until I see something tasty swimming by.  In this case, a nice size “munu” and knew how I was going to eat it.  But first, I must spear it.  It’s always best spearing it in the head.  That way you don’t damage the fish, and you also instantaneously kill it.

When I go to my secret spot called “refrigerator,”  I only take one fish.  That’s why this spot has been feeding me for the past 40 years.

This is the freshest and tastiest fish dish you will ever experience.  Every spear fishermen knows this…
