  1. Back in my youth, I was scuba diving in Kaneohe Bay, HI, and came across a school of Amber Jack. Having a good time until, all of a sudden, they decided to get out of Dodge. Pucker factor really went up. Rumor had it the bay was the breeding ground for hammerheads. Dive partner and I laid low for a while, then we got out of Dodge, too.

    1. Gunny, I take it you were at K Bay. The dive club on base used a whale boat from the decommissioned USS O'Bannon. Painted yellow with red. One lung Buda engine.

      Dad was President of the Aku Marines 1969-1972. We used the boat a lot.

    2. We saw many hammerheads in the bay. Brother and me would chase after them in sailboats. Until dad found out.

      One of the first times I strapped on tanks, about 10 yrs old, dad and me were at the Slot at North Beach. We were about 60 feet on the bottom. I ran out of air so we buddy breathed. We couldn't ascend just yet because a Tiger was circling above us.

  2. Bait balls like this attract predators that swoop in for a bite.

    1. That is what I was thinking. Young lady, do you want to be in the center of the ball, when what made them ball up, swims through it?
