Aboard the Salty Swan, we set out with snapper in our sights to wrap up the summer. As we approached our boat limit, I took one final drop and spotted a triggerfish that dwarfed everything else on the reef. I took the shot, securing our limit for the day. Big shoutout to my dive buddy Preston for the intel (the real MVP), and of course to the crew at Tanked Up Dive Shop for keeping me stocked with the best gear.
