i seen the news and she smiled at the camera so i figured it couldnt have been that bad, odd i thought only those "nasty east-coast" kakus liked to bite people. uncle caught one 46lbs right off kailua, was pretty long and you know like 1/3 of it is mouth. nasty.

Apparently the kaku when just accelerate to her, nailed her (!) And split. The wound was pretty deep, but not anything like it shoulda been if it was shark.

Some of those bastard kaku's (all mouth) seem to have gone to florida.

I keeed, I keeed.

Anyone see the news last night? A diver off Kahana Bay got speared by a Kaku, right in the chest. Him and his buddy were a mile off shore when it hit and his buddy loaded him in a little dinghy they had and swam it in, flagged someone down and got help.
