On the 3rd dive I had enough of AJ’s and was looking for grouper. Towards the end of the dive I saw a 65-70 lb. AJ swim by me which was too good of an opportunity for me to pass up. I freeshafted him right through the head and he went belly up. I immediately put him onto my stringer upon which he became possessed by Satan himself because this AJ started to swim like there was no tomorrow. He drug me a good 300 yrds along the reef while I was sitting atop of him with my legs wrapped around him like he was a bucking bronco while I was holding onto the stringer with one hand and was stabbing him in the head with the other. There was no way in the world I was missing his brain but he kept on swimming with me on top of him. Running low on bottom time, I attached my lift bag to the stringer and inflated it which brought him right to the surface as I let go. Even on the surface and my knife sticking out of his head he kept on putting up a fight.
