The capture of this fish was incredible! I was diving with my friend David Ochoa , we found a rock at 23 meters deep with a lot of life, after a few dives I spotted a huge malabar grouper, on the first dive I didn't have the opportunity to shoot. On the following dives I managed to find a burrow, which had the characteristics of being a good place for it to be hiding. With the help of my flashlight I managed to find it at the bottom of the burrow and took a good shot between its eyes, even having taken this good shot I needed to get another weapon from the boat to take the second shot and surface with the fish. The second weapon I used to fire the second shot was also a Rob Allen, and I loaded it myself.
