Broken Shaft, Big Money?


i haven’t been to my ulua (GT) house for a while so i thought i’d better check to see what’s going on. i took my speargun with my brand new shaft on for a reason. the reason is because i didn’t want to shoot a big fish and bend my shaft. i actually just wanted to look in the house to see if they came back. i seen 3 big ones from the top swimming around. no way i was shooting one. i swim down on the side of the house, i lay there watching the 3 huge ulua’s swimming back and forth, then i spot a small on in the back. gosh, i wish i had my video camera! anyway, the small one came out to say hi. i lined my gun to the head and thought to myself that if i have the instant kill shot, i’ll take it. then my shaft won’t bend. 2 seconds later, i had the best shot you can ask for. i shoot, it dies, then it came back to life and took me for a ride in and out of the hole. i see my shaft bend right in front of my eyes and i was yelling under water “OH MY GOSH!” i fought the fish up, i threw it on the boat, and i was pissed. why? if i knew my shaft would bend, i would have shot the biggest one, which was 3 times bigger. now i have to spend $60 on a new shaft so i’m making sure i’m eating every piece of meat from it.
i think i need a speargun sponsor? this is costing me too much. oh my gosh!!!

english translation:
these 2 kids (10 and 11 years old) from fukushima wake up early every
morning and stand in front of their house before school to thank all the
military, police, firemen, and volunteers for their efforts in
fukushima. otsukaresama deshita means “thank you for your hard work.”
they wave, yell “otsukaresama deshita” and hold “thank you always”
signs. they said that they are going to continue to do it everyday
until fukushima is back to normal. watching this makes me want to do
more and more. amazing japanese kids!
thank you matsu for sharing this video with me. see you on mission 4!
it’s all for the kids!!!!
