Had to take a trip down to el golfo. First grouper ever and i would say some of the best eating.

dam thats a BEAST! Good catch

Nice Catch man. Did you pull that thing out of some rocks? I was fishing in San Felipe a few years back and hooked one that I could not get pulled out of the cave it backed into. I would pulling a little and then I could feel it just kick right back down. When the line snapped I could feel the nicks all over my line from being pulled into the cave.

I had the drag all the way tight and just started cranking and didint stop. If you give them any slack they will shot for a hole in the rocks and most of the time you wont get the fish out.

Yup, that was a bad time for me to realize the drag on my Penn Jigmaster needed to be replaced. I had the drage cranked down, and it was still pulling line out. Glad you got your fish.

Nice fish! What kind of boat is that in the background?

that thing is a slug... a good two freezer fulls right there...congrats on that catch

Im pretty sure its a 1960-70 starcraft
