Westside Triple Crown

Went over to the wild wild west today to visit the 3rd event of the Westside spearfishing triple crown. With 17 teams divers from Oahu were destined to take down the evasive species (Roi, Toau, and Ta'ape). Team Poke Choke won the event and with over 50 fish speared today they were stoked! Mahalo to all the sponsors and Westside Dive & Tackle for organizing this event.

These fish are the not native to Hawaii and continue to devastate our marine environment, eating our more desired reef fish. The Roi or Peacock grouper is often found with ciguatera so be careful when eating it. Surf came down today but water was still green so gotta get back to work before the next adventure begins.
