We had swam to this spot I knew at the end of the reef. It is a large crevice that ran for about 40 feet and exited the reef in a cave. Cam dove one end, I dove the cave. the fish only had 2 directions they could go, and they came my way. This dog snapper poked his head out first and I shot him with the headhunter polespear. I went right thought him and toggled. There was little fight. Had it on the boat in just a few seconds.
