Just finished phase 1 of BP's Mardi Gras project. We installed a 20" riser and took the closing spool measurements for a 20" and 28". I got some great video of a 500 lb. grouper that was acting really strange. It had some bizarre colorations and I think it was in the mating mode. It laid over on its side and undulated while staying in place several times in front of some smaller groupers. Never saw anything like it before. We're gearing up for a "Griswalds" vacation. Minnesota, Idaho, Washington and Oregon and all points in between. Hope to see everybody along the way so consider yourselves warned and take appropriate action (i.e. last minute trips out of town). The Triggerfish is from the files of Mr. Ben Begley. I know all you divers and former divers will enjoy it and can justify it to the bunny huggers in your family. DSDE
