World Record Grouper in Okinawa….

278

good morning. gosh it was raining hard and so windy last night. the roads are wet, the water is all bust up, and my car is so dam dirty. want to wash it but it will get dirty again right when i leave my house. going to stay home today because the waves are terrible. town is flat. north shore has 2′ max and super windy again. and today is sunday so expect another super grom session at ehukai. might go watch the boys surf in the evening. but for now, i’m staying warm and relaxing… have a nice day…

gosh, those guys in okinawa never quit. kevin sent me these photos of this huge grouper. they caught it off a cliff at some secret spot. look how huge this thing is? imagine how much bigger it looked in the water….

imagine how heavy this thing is? they have to lug this fish up 400 vertical stairs to get it back up the mountain. how would i do it? drag it by the tail or make somebody else carry it..

this is how the boys down in okinawa do it. when i first saw this photo, i laughed. but not that i think about it, what a great idea… maybe they can carry me up the stairs too? haha…. thanks kevin for the awesome photos. keep diving and save some fish for me. i can’t wait to go back there next year….
