Fishin'

[Beachboy]

personally I use to be an avid fisherman. Having grown up on Maui on the westside I use to know all the good holes on that side. But one year while spear fishing with my neighbor he caught a good size turtle. Now I have never caught a Turtle myself, but have had Turtle to eat on several occasions. It actually taste pretty awesome. But on this particular day my neighbor, Nelson had speared a good size Turtle. Upon getting the Turtle home my neighbor starting cutting the Turtle along to under belly of it's shell. It had survived the intial impact of the 'Hawaiian Sling'. It's flippers were flapping as Nelson was cutting it. Upon closer inspection, I noticed the Turtle was 'crying',actual tears!!!! You people don't know how bad that f***ed me up emotionally seeing that Turtle cry. I immeadiately stopped fishing, and to this day have not resumed fishing either. I no longer eat Turtle when it's offered to me. Just in the past 10 years have I started to eat fish again.

As much as I use to enjoy fishing, seeing that Turtle cry really did a number on me..
