Got out the other day on my day off for some early morning fishing in the gulf. I caught 1 fish a nice grouper at least to me I know they get to be much much bigger. Man did this thing fight hard he tried like hell to get under the pier into the cracks but I wasn't giving him anything I remembered what y'all said a while ago bout just cranking keeping them out of there hole. There was 2 of them the other was about the same size and chased it everywhere trying to get the jig out of its mouth. I got it on a pink Pompano jig from BPS. I had a few more hits threw out the day but came up short they were all on live bait also some I think may have been crabs as I kept bring back eye and gillless baitfish oh yeah i got the cast net to work good so I have some minnows to use.
Also whats the best way to pick up and hold a grouper he had some sharp points on his gill plates not to mention TEETH! another question what type of grouper is it I googled it it kinda looks like a Goliath grouper to me but what do I know I'm a bass fisherman from WNY.
