Catching Mantis shrimp


Today we left the bananas at home and boarded our 30 ft boat for a new adventure. Today our mission was to catch a mantis shrimp.
Our guide nathan took us to his mantis grounds and we got one! Lot of work in getting one and very dangerous. Mantis shrimp have sharp pointed claws that can be deadly.
Kekoa got a nice long nose emperor fish today.
Mike got his first awa.
Another nice uku!
Got back in at dusk to see the kids taking their bath. This is how they shower in Kiribati.
And this is how the mantis shrimp is when cooked. Looks like a alien or deformed centipede.
