This morning we decided to move a little further up the shore from our usual "honey hole". As Scubanorth hinted, I've never had a dive where I've taken so many huge lobbies out of their holes only to find them full of eggs.
I had one interesting encounter - swimming around a huge boulder, I came face to face with a monster who was headed in the opposite direction - right at me. He took one look at me and assumed the attack position and just advanced at me. I pinned his claws down and grabbed him - and he wasn't even thinking of retreating. Man - it felt like holding a football. Of course, after noticing there were no eggs or Vnotch, I found that he was about an inch over.
So I took him for a ride to meet my buddies Jim & Jeff, who I found in the midst of a battle with a buggun under another boulder. I slowly stuck the crusher claw into Jim's face, and finally he noticed and gave him (then me) his best WTF stare.
Our tally for two dives was 8 keepers, not as good as it's been there, but better than some days.
