SHOT DURING THE LOUISIANA STATE FREEDIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS. WENT OUT OF VENICE MARINA TO A RIG IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. ALREADY SHOT 2 JACK CREVALLES AND ON MY THIRD DIVE AT 55 FEET I WAS LOOKING AROUND AT A SCHOOL OF JACKS. AS I TURNED AROUND TO CHECK BEFORE I HEADED UP THERE IN THE BLUE WAS A HUGE JACK COMING AT ME. I SHOT IT PERFECTLY(THANK GOD) AND STONED IT. BROUGHT IT ON BOARD AND HIGH FIVES AND SMILES ALL AROUND. I ENDED UP WINING THE CHAMPIONSHIPS!!! COME TO FIND OUT LATER IT WAS #1 STATE FISH AND WAS GOING TO BE A WORLD RECORD!
