the wind subsided the reefs came alive with fish

It was nice to see once we reached the reef areas that the visibility was still quite good. My grouper acquaintance was looking over his fish smorgasbord and didn't seem to mind posing for a few pictures for us. Later we came across a Nassau grouper, a handsome fellow sporting his pretty cool tiger stripes look.
The fishing was alright, everybody caught three or four fish each. One of my shipmates, Sarah, brought her spear gun and shot a barracuda, immediately the spear gun buoy floater raced across the top of the water with the line running , however strangely the spear went right through him. She next shot a mangrove snapper, we called her over a few times while she was in the water because our lines were stuck on the bottom and she happily dove down and to the bottom and freed them up. One time it was a Goliath on the end of the line, the second time she yelled back to us on the boat, its a green Morry eel. Than she let out a loud scream, it shocked us all. Her sister Rachel looked at me oh no, the eel bit her but she quickly swam over to the swim platform looked up and said quick hand me my benzine a jelly fish stung me in the butt. She cowboyed up and we all continued having fun fishing and diving
