I dove 5 minutes after leaving the boat, I went down to check for fishes and to see the bottom landscape. During the descent, I saw the white grouper just under me on a half rock, half sandy place at a depth around 10 meters. I finished my approach almost vertically and took the shot. The shaft entered 5 cm behind the head and came out in the flank next to the head (almost under the fish). From the lack of nervosity of the fish, i'm share i hit the spine, stoning the fish. I then pulled the shaft to me and brought the fish back to surface. The fish was subdued in less than one minute. I killed it on surface and called for the boat . My buddy and the captain helped me to lift it in the boat. (photos from the fish show the exact location of the entry and exit wounds just behind the head)
