got up at 3am, loaded up the boat, and spent another long day in the ocean. watching the sunrise from the middle of the sea is amazing.

no ahi, but we caught a big ono or sawara. i’m pretty happy with the results, BUT today was my last day i will spend trolling. i officially give up. to me, trolling around in the ocean for hours spending big $$$ on gas is a waste. it’s like throwing money into the ocean. a lot of my friends love it but it’s not for me. i rather free dive.

while i was washing Mayuki, Brent and Kyle were cutting and packing up the fish. perfect team work!

wanted to tell all my friends in okinawa to please be careful! i know most of them will be outside chasing the swell but this mega typhoon is huge! please stay indoors and if you decide to go surfing, catch a wave for me!

and yes, hawaii is getting ready for our own tropical storm next week. 35mph winds compared to 185mph in okinawa?
spent a very long day in the ocean and am very tired. no more ahi fever for me so it will be a good night sleep. oyasuminasai.
