spear fishing

it has become a yearly tradition to go spear fishing with kawika casco

one of my dad's former players at the U

he is from maui and knows all the great spots to find the best fish

or octopus

or turtles

or eels

somehow kawika and the other boys are fearless

and are total savages and don't even get sad when they spear fishes through the eyes
true story

the ONLY comfort i have 

is that we wouldn't go hungry if the world was ending and we had to hunt for our own food
i would just have to learn to like the taste of fish

i personally swim in constant fear of a shark lurking behind me

it even takes me a while to get used to swimming with the big turtles

the ocean is straight up terrifying to me

and i'm pretty sure the ocean creatures can hear my heart pounding the whole time

the only reason i go year after year (this was our 5th year!) is because 

my fear of growing old and boring is even worse 

than my fear of being eaten alive by a shark

or getting tangled up in a killer jelly fish

or being stung through the heart by a sting ray like the crocodile hunter

anyway

dawson, my dad, ty, and ashley did a great job of spearing some fish for our group

although we graciously let kawika keep them all for his dinner

since he caught both of the octopus and the majority of the fish anyway

don't they look delicious?
