every country has different ways of doing things. in hawaii, we do it one way, in mexico, they do it another. all i do is sit back, watch, and enjoy.

auk equals ahi. if you take the time to fish for small aku, it ups the chances of getting that big ahi.

Kyle knows all to well that this is the way to bring in the tunas. he says aku is like rock candy to big tunas. they just can’t resist.

20 years ago i use to think blue water free divers were the craziest people in the world. now i’m one of them. and i feel like i’m in a great place. towards the end of the day, i almost fell asleep underwater. did some 75′ dives into the unknown. and when the big tuna appears, you have to keep calm or you will never make it back to the surface. it’s good for my mind because i get excited for everything.

last night, the owner of the place we are staying at came over and gave me some beers. then he gave us a glass of tequila. omg, it was so good! i sipped it slowly and enjoyed my night remembering what a great day we had. will definitely be sipping on another glass tonight.
