Funny thing is I read an article in Alert Diver a couple months ago about someone who had a boxing match underwater with a Titan Trigger where he had to repeatedly punch, yes punch, the fish in it's face for it to go away and leave him alone while swimming away laterally.
I wondered if maybe that fish just was crazy or if psychotically aggressive behavior is normal for those fish during nesting. Now I know.

I've read about the cone shaped territory and how you should swim away horizontally and not up. Yeah right - the one I had a run in with did NOT read that and chased me a good ways laterally. Didn't get me though.
