Possibly the worst conditions for diving. 3-5 foot of visibility and hard to see the fish. Luckily after diving all day this one came to me and I made a shot right as he turned and battled him back to the surface and wrapped my arms around him. His dorsal fins stuck my bicep but I wasn’t going to let him go. I grabbed him and took him back to the boat.
