A few days ago I was out spearfishing on the East side of Oahu. I wasn’t having any luck finding fish so I switched to tako mode. After an hour of tako hunting I only saw baby tako so I started heading in. On the way in I saw a big rock with a few holes in it and decided to check it out. One of the holes showed the classic signs of a tako house so I dove down to look inside. When I first looked in I saw a big eye staring at me and a few tentacles moving around. Judging by the size of his tentacles I knew he was going to put up a fight.

After breathing up, I dove down with my 3-prong and stated trying to “tickle” the tako out of his hole. Mr. Tako shook my attacks off like it was nothing so I had to try again. My second try however was successful and I was able get him out of the hole. But the fight didn’t end there. We wrestled around on the surface for a few minutes and eventually I was able to get the upper hand. Once I had firm control of him I bit him under the eye until I heard the crunch. After a few seconds I heard it and the tako turned a ghostly white. I had successfully paralyzed him and won the fight. =)
