3kg Makabu (a.k.a. Blackspot Tuskfish)

Today Ken and Carey decided to give the East side a try as the West was all whitecaps. Courtney Bay was our target zone, and although it was flat like a lake, the visibility was only 5 feet in most spots, maybe 10 feet if you squinted really hard. It seems the fish enjoy the poor vis though, because Ken was able to basically reach out and touch this Tuskfish in 10 feet of water. Straight down shot right through the top of the head, then the fish took off for China. Ken actually was pulled a few feet through the water although the fish was only 6 1/2 pounds!! It was the only big fish seen that day, so the ocean gods must have taken pity on us for swimming around for 3 1/2 hours!! We would love to explore more sights on the East, but we all know how temperamental that side can be!!!

Do you kiss your mom with that mouth??
