The 2011 tako hunt had 24 divers entered. Due to recent inclement weather, the water conditions weren’t the best, dirty water and strong current, however the catches were respectable. After verifying that everyone was checked in, Dave Sakoda said grace and lunch, chili dog, was served. As usual everyone exchanged their stories of their trials and tribulations and of course it would not be an AHK weigh in without the normal BS and sandbagging. It was time the weigh in and 1st order of business was drawing the mystery fish…. UKU.
