It was another day of getting out of work early and driving two hours north to my spot. My wife and I were leaving on a dive drip on our honeymoon that coming Thursday. So I was really just planning on getting some deeper longer dives in. I brought my gun just incase. My four hours of planned training were all gone on the third dive when he swam past me. I stoned him as he was turning away from me. I had shot one before that was the same length but he had an empty stomach. This one clearly had been eating so I knew he would be close.
