 the uhu&#8217;s in town are pretty smart so it&#8217;s kind of hard to catch them.  this is how i caught this one.  it was like 35&#8242; deep so i waited for him to go behind a rock or in a cave and then i dove down on him.  i couldn&#8217;t see him but as i was going down, he came out of the cave and looked at me.  he was tripping out and so was i because he turned to the side and gave me the perfect head shot.  i think he was drunk or something because that was too easy&#8230;.<br \/>\n<a href=\"files\/PC290310.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/PC290310.jpg\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" alt=\"\"><\/a><br \/>\nhow did i catch this big kumu?  i saw a pile of fish in 15&#8242; deep water.  i dove down in the middle and was thinking in my head what shawn told me.  he said that he doesn&#8217;t see the kumu&#8217;s when he first goes down but they just come out of nowhere if you wait.  i was waiting patiently on the bottom for about a minute singing &#8220;silent night&#8217; in my head.  that&#8217;s just one of songs i sing in my head while diving.  haha.  anyway, there were so many fish swimming around me but i just kept on waiting because i could have picked off any fish at any time.  just as i was running out of air, i seen this big red kumu swimming up to me.  maybe he thought i was santa?  he turned 5&#8242; away and i shot him right in the body.  i usually aim for the head but i didn&#8217;t want to take any chance on losing on of the biggest kumu&#8217;s i&#8217;ve ever speared so i shot him in the body.  grabbed him, and went back to my boat singing &#8220;jingle bells&#8221;&#8230;.  i was done for the day&#8230;.  merry christmas&#8230;  kind of late but i&#8217;m still in the christmas spirit&#8230;..[:?????\u001b$B!x\u001b(B???:]<br \/>\n<a href=\"files\/PC290312.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/PC290312.jpg\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" alt=\"\"><\/a><br \/>\nmy brother took his fish, mike took his, we gave some away, and this is the rest for my dinner this week&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>good saturday morning. 7am and the waves look clean on the north shore. 3&#8242; and fun so i&#8217;m out of here&#8230;. town is small in the knee high range but north shore is the call&#8230; the winds backed off but it&#8217;s still raining. have a nice day&#8230;. just downloaded the photos from yesterday. gosh, this [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-go-naminori"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=272"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
