| Went out about a week ago with billybob. I haven't ever killed a big grouper so I asked billybob if he could help me fix that. Made a few dives in the 140' to 160' range. The vis was the best I've ever seen it out there. It was easily 100 feet and the water was a beautiful cobalt blue. The first dive we made was on a tire pyramid where i killed a couple small triggerfish and billybob killed a 6 or 7 pound scamp and grabbed 8 good sized shovelnose lobster. The next dive was about 155 feet on a steel pyramid. As we're heading down the anchor rope about 60 feet above the wreck I heard billybob screaming and he points out over the sand at a big grouper swimming right towards us. I eased towards him slowly, got within range and popped him right between the eyes. I couldn't believe how easy he was to kill. I guess he had never seen divers before. We spent the rest of the day diving shallower spots on our way in and killed a few more triggerfish. All in all it was a great day. I finally killed a respectable grouper and I hope there will be many more to follow.

Billybob is one of the best there is. He has forgotten more about diving than I will ever know, glad you had a good day, I can't wait to go with him again!
