From ocean to plate....

Open Water

For those of you who aren't fishermen, there is something amazingly cool about dinner when you know exactly where it came from... even better, when you know you were the one who brought it from ocean to plate! Sometimes, Nate Fishin'Nate Fishin' I find myself daydreaming about what it would be like to "Jacque Cousteau"-it and go get dinner for myself. Imagine yourself, out in the middle of the ocean as just another creature in the water, you choose your prey, you hunt, you catch (hopefully) you bring it home and prepare it. Its one of the coolest things I get to do. Spearfishing snapperbigSpearfishing snapperbig Aside from the occasional run-in with a shark or two, it is a peaceful and wonderful display of nature. All alone in the water, your blood rushes with adrenaline, your eyes stay sharp for predators (other than yourself of course), your senses are heightened, its calm and treacherous all at the same time, you could be the "prey" at any turn, yet there is an overwhelming sense of peace. It may not be for everyone, but I LOVE it!
