Aloha Everyone
Well I thought I would tell my story before Daryl tells his version! :lol:
A few weeks ago we were diving in one of our favorite spots and I noticed Daryl laying on the bottom for what seemed like an eternity. I could not see what he was laying in wait for but finally he rose to the surface and gave me the "just wait a minute sign". After a well needed rest he went back down and was laying on the bottom, out in front of him was a "Nenue" (chub) school and swimming with them were a couple of very nice Kumu's (Joe's).
Well the larger of the two wanted nothing to do with Daryl and kept a fair distance, it was obvious he knew Daryl had the Record Kumu for many years up until last year. Well as the story goes when Daryl started to return to the surface the second time, that fish came off the bottom as if to just tease him! He never saw me dropping down from above. Some may say I poached this fish from Daryl - I say it was a tag team effort. Beside if I had a dollar for every time he shot a fish out from under me I would be a wealthy man! :thumps:
Our new Hawaii State Record Kumu (double-barred) was 16" in length and had a 14" girth and weighed a whopping 3.48 lbs. Later that night we all went to the Chinese restaurant and had him steamed! It was yummy!!!
