I went on a camping trip to Maui's isolated backside. Three days of diving... yeah. However, after dropping 2 gallons of chum, I was lying on the bottom waiting for an uku to come in, when I noticed a large shark to my left. I surfaced and let my partner know, since it was near sunset and the water was fairly murky. I swam back out, located the shark, and dropped down on top of him. He was a tiger, the first one that I've seen. Fortunately, he was very mellow, so I was able to hover above him and appreciate what a magnificent fish he was. I'd guess he was about 12 feet long, but he was certainly at least 10 feet long. Nice fish.

Geez Willie, you really have the magic touch this year.

About that next visit you were planning with me- I think I have a conflicting appointment.
