Quick sushi report
Posted: Sat Jun 08, 2013 9:37 amHere’s a quick nigiri maguro report for you sushi lovers while the boyz are up playing with Robbo in Las Craigas…Robbo likes to sink his choppers into fresh moist tuna as much as anybody so this report is for him.....my latest sojourn to Kona started out rough. Flying with a sinus infection resulted in incredible stabbing ear pain (like being jabbed for 20 minutes in both ears with knitting needles) during our descent that left me with a lovely burst eardrum …clogged Eustachian tubes do not make for a happy landing! Despite being nearly deaf (and dealing with pain and super strong antibiotics, which do nasty things to the digestive system) during most of the trip, we still managed to have some fun and see lots of friends and favorite haunts.
I dragged my Miracle-ear-needing self to the reef long enough to land some Disney critters before playing out on the big blue one day chasing tuna. I’ll let the shots tell the story…….
A huge escort of spinner dolphins hung with the boat as we headed south toward Miloli’i with some great friends…………..my wife got plenty of 'leaping Flipper' shots to tease her girlfriends (who were suffering through gloom, rain and wind back here, Seattle weather was NOT good while we were there, what a shocker)…
The elation of hooking up with a good yellowfin changes to grim determination once the battle drags into the hour+ category…but it is an awesome experience that I highly recommend. Personally, I can’t get enough of it! Everybody needs to wrestle a big fat tuna at least once in their lives.
It was 150+ pounds of raw power and gave me every bit of battle I could ask for that day. Good times. Aloha.
