We were drifting the edge of Tartar Bank looking for wahoo. After the current took us past the edge of the drop off, I began looking for reef fish. I spotted a large snapper, facing a sea fan, tucked in behind a coral head. Using the coral formation to my advantage, I closed to within shooting distance, and let my spear fly. Thankfully, I stoned him with my Headhunter Predator 2.0 and brought him up to the surface.
