Time for... Ahi action !

Kaos angelorum !

Hundreds of awesome Yellowfin Tuna.




A beautiful day in the Kandavu channel.


Decided to take one home with me.

63kg. Nice, but this was no revanche on 'GrandSlamTuna' of one year ago.
I happened to be alone again, but with a new Tiagra 16 and a harness and a gaff, this bad boy had no chance.
This was a no drama 10-15 minute affair with another 10 minutes trying to get him into the boat
when a minor dramatic moment threatened to become something more as he made
a mad dash for freedom and almost pulled me overboard as he bent the gaff 90'!

Bent the brand new Yo-zuri 90' as well.


'once I was 7 years old...'

Now I'm 8 !
Happy birthday Brandon !

Another sucessful day at sea.

Sid hangin out at Kaycee (Koro Carioca).

Aku (Skipjack).
note: caught 6 (18-25kg) Ahis (Yellowfins) since the big one last month.
Lost another gaff (& lure) on one of them, with Marcia & Brandon.

An endemic Fjian Green Tree Skink, (Emoia Concolor),
and a Fiji Scorpion.

Cleaning Nduruka (edible sugarcane). In coconut milk = very delicious Fijian dish !
