Re: First successful Gyotaku

Well... I figured Id keep you guys posted on my Gyotaku progress. Yesterday I dove a spot on maui for the first time. This place was incredible. The depth was between 65 and 90 ft but we stumbled upon these huge pinnacles that rose up to within 10 feet of the surface. There were about 7 or 8 of them in about the area of 2 football fields. The action was minimal but it was a fun dive. This spot definitely has great potential. I half way expected to see an ono cruise by but no luck.

Anyway, on the way in I was able to tag this nice little omilu (blue-finned trevally). Again, not a huge fish and I dont have a pic for size comparison but his fork length was about 18 inches (3 - 4lbs). The shot entered his gills leaving no hole so I decided to print him anyway.

I saw two of these today while I was swimming with my girlfriend and these guys were 20+lbs. Murphy's Law, the moment you dont have your gun is the moment the big ones swim right up to you
