message Thanks Christian. It was truly a special day. We had baitball after baitball, but this was the only thresher in the water. When I dove down I was really close on the first pass but I was so excited I forgot I had a camera in my hand. After the interaction we saw multiple threshers breaching. Wow, what a memory.
