Re: Big Island Diving!
Looks like some epic diving! I really wish i was able to get out more often here on the Big Island. Been down to South Point plenty of times although never for the Spearfishing reason . I'll be leaving for the summer since finals are done at UHH already so I have high hopes of speaing much more next year.
Congrats again on the great outing! |

Re: Big Island Diving!
Thanks for the comments!
Natedogg! When are you and da boss coming back? Looks like we are back on board with the ranch, so maybe you can lift the lava curse you put on it?! haha Hey JLittle44, when he realized I wanted a RIB for VDay, his eyes lit up like a little b!tch on Christmas morning!! What Red Tide is to tournaments, Rick is to boats - a junkie!! So he had a lot of fun rigging it and tricking it out for me. Brandi - you still coming end of the year? And Judge, we'll see ya soooon! DKSoCal - we're only a call or e-mail away, next time you want to dive let us know! Here is our mate Devin with a nice rainbow runner, and wahoo taken off his kayak... |

Re: Big Island Diving!
Here's another friend, Grant Wilson with a 13.4lb Big Eye Trevally - this pic reminds me of when I was swarmed by a school of them, but I didn't shoot because I was being "selective" and thought they were small Ulua...

Re: Big Island Diving!
Here's our buddy Devin again. He offered to help us move for the last time (for a while) and to express our thanks Rick gave him his own personal 140cm Super Venom. That gun had heaps of good juju, lost count how many Doggies and Macks Rick shot with that thing. Devin took it out, and came home with this 60lb YF Tuna. Rick, Derek Hara and I jumped in a few days later, but all I saw was kava kava and a small awa that was very weary of me, and took off into the deeps with lightning speed! I want an Awa badly.. Heard they put up a massive fight!

Re: Big Island Diving!
We celebrated Anj's birthday by going camping with our friends on a secluded beach, Rick and Anj teamed up and came back with some nice fish - Rick's Bluefin Trevally weighed in at 19.4lbs and Anj shot Moana Ukalis over 2.5lbs... She is for sure the Kali Killer... and as usual she managed to come up with a nice Tako as well... Funny thing is we always ask her to get us a tako, and she never promises anything, but delivers every time. We've been seeing a lot of huge Omilus over here....

Re: Big Island Diving!
Anj and her buddy Justin Lee went diving and picked up some nice fish. Her Kali was another one over 4lbs, but not bigger than the state record (which she holds). Oh yeah, and some tako...

Re: Big Island Diving!
Here are a few more of Devin's tuna. He swung by our ranch after he was done diving and we took some pics... I noticed these almost perfect circles were cut out of the fish's body, and found out that it was done by a type of shark called a "cookie cutter". Thought it was pretty neat....
