Fish On Fridays. Tiburones Y Wahines.

Blacktip Reef Shark.
Carcharhinus melanopterus (Quoy and Gaimard, 1824), is a small shark measuring up to 1.8 m with a short, bluntly-rounded snout, oval eyes, and narrow-cusped teeth. There are 2 dorsal fins, no interdorsal ridge. Juveniles (<70 cm) are yellow-brown on the dorsal side, white on the ventral side; adults are brownish-gray on the dorsal side, white on the ventral side. All fins have conspicuous black or dark brown tips, and posterior dark edges on the pectoral fins and the upper lobe of the caudal fin. The prominent black tip of first dorsal fin contrasts with a light band below it; a conspicuous dark band on flanks, extending to the pelvic fins. Maximum weight: 24 kg; frequents depth ranges from shallows to 75 m.

Tiger Shark.
The tiger shark is second only to the white shark in number of reported attacks on humans. Its large size and voraciousness make it a formidable predator in the ocean. Tiger sharks can be curious and aggressive towards humans in the water and must be considered with a great deal of respect. Do you think the wahine playing cow girl above has all her screws in tight?

Can I get a kiss? Those sharks are scary!

Fish On Fridays. My Encounter With A Shark.

Puffy has me beat! Mind you, I am not upset that he has a bigger fish story. The last thing that I want to see is a lurking hulk trailing after me as he contemplates whether I would make a nice snack. Read Miguel's, "My Shark Encounter."

Fish On Fridays. It Takes A Lickin' And Keeps On Ticking!

‘ELE‘ELE — With tennis shoes on, wallet in pocket and a bamboo stick in hand, Kaua‘i resident Curt Carish on Wednesday may have written himself into the most eccentric fisherman’s history book.

To catch a fish with such simple gear would be an interesting tale in itself. But after Carish hauled in a nenue, the 10-inch fish coughed up a gold watch.

“I was just sitting on a picnic table looking out into the ocean of Port Allen beach when I saw a nice-size fish awkwardly swimming close to shore,” Carish said. “So my friend Allen Hall gave me a bamboo stick and said, ‘Go get ‘em.’”

Carish jumped into the waist-high water and struck the nenue a few times with the dull stick until the fish went limp.

He said its stomach was abnormally large but he just threw the fish in the cooler along with his frozen chicken that he was going to barbecue that night.



Tanley, a good friend of Carish, opened the cooler minutes later to discover a gold watch laying inches from the nenue’s mouth.

“And the funniest thing is that the watch was on time and still ticking,” Carish said.

Carish, who often hangs out at the private Port Allen Club with many other members, said in all of his 30 years on Kaua‘i he has never encountered anything this bizarre.
