a lot of people don’t know what this fish is called. it’s called a “Uku” and is served in a lot of fine dining restaurants in hawaii. these fish are hard to spear. very smart but there is a trick to catch one. if you see one swimming in the deep blue water, dive down to the bottom, lay there, shake some sand around, don’t look at them in the eye, look away from them, they will come in, then turn to the side when they come close. then take the shot in the head, fight it on the way back up and make sure you don’t black out or drown. and once you secure it, put a knife in the head and kill it.

then take a photo with a big smile, cut it into filets, eat sashimi, or steam it chinese style. either way, a gourmet dinner. enjoy!
Last, Reef just came out with their new 2013 Miss Reef Calendar. Check out this video. Pretty cool footage off the coast of Ecuador. And listen to the music! Japanese? Pretty funny hearing Japanese music on a Reef Bikini shoot in Ecuador.
