spent the whole afternoon chasing fish. Hideki-san and Takahiro-san were super excited to get their first spear fishing experience in hawaii. the boys couldn’t wait!

they dove a few times in japan and speared fish. i told them, “hawaii is different. hawaii is much harder because the fish are much smarter.” and they found out pretty fast. but after a few tries, Takahiro-san finally speared one!

Hideki-san has a good approach to fish. very calm and very calculated. i was watching him for a while and decided to go off to the side and spear a fish for their dinner. i tried and tried but couldn’t find one. then i come back to the boat and see Hideki-san smiling! he freaking speared a big uhu!!! omg! i was so surprised!

isn’t it amazing how a kid can go catch himself dinner? i think that’s awesome. i’m still wondering where he found this fish hiding???

got a nice photo with father and son. i still can’t believe this kid speared it because there wasn’t any fish around there.

so i cleaned it for them because they were planning to eat at a chinese restaurant. now they get to eat the most freshest fish on the island. speared at 5pm and eaten shortly after. i’m sure it was awesome.
