1 fish, 2 fish, red fish, blue fish

can you guess what i got to do today?? i learned how to fish. =D funny, huh? i've lived in hawaii practically my ENTIRE life and only now, at 18, i am learning the basics of fishing. =P anywho... ty took me to the waimea river mouth to learn how to set up, cut bait, hook bait, cast line, make hauna, and even kinda how to make new hooks. even though it was SUPER windy, and the sand kept stinging me, i had lots of fun. here's some pics of the "adventures" (inspired by cam and josue's "adventures" =P).

ty took out the bait (squid) and then he cut it and showed me how to put it on the hooks.

i tried just putting the bait on. as you can tell, i struggled... and then i finally got it! =P

then he showed me how to cast, and i attempted... like SEVENTEEN times =P

he brought sardines which he made into "hauna" which attracts the fish. he mixed it with sand to spread it out a little bit

he kinda taught me how to make the hooks and stuff. actually he mostly SHOWED me. this is his "smile" when i told him to... lol

the squid. don't be decieved... we are not "besties"... i will cut it up to make my bait =P ...see?

first you cut off the head, then take out the guts, then cut it into long, thin-ish, triangular pieces

we actually caught a small papio... see? but it was illegally small so we had to release it. =(

yay! we had fun. and guess what?? i got RED! =P whoo hoo!! =P
