willer,
we practice and preach conservation here. we always target the smaller fish around the reefs so that the larger ones can continue breeding. plus, our boat is only 17 feet long and the marine patrol will nab us for having too much weight in the boat. hence,.... the smaller fish in the above pictures.
eric,
the shirts came out awesome! you'll love it. i'm not sure if i have your address but i'll be emailing you about getting yours to you.
also, i had an incredible encounter with a great hammerhead. although he was only about 8 feet, he was still magnificent. i laid down on the bottom next to a couple of grouper carcasses that he was feeding on and just watched him. beautiful animal. coulda cared less that i was there. could have easily touched him, but i just sat in admiration of such an awesome creature.
then, jay came in and shot the mutton snapper that was feeding on the floating scraps(he didn't know the hammerhead was around). the shark went nutz but became skiddish once it realized we outnumbered it.
i think it was scott nelson's first shark encounter. not a bad species to start with.
later,
anderson
