Lol. My 80W has 200lb Power Pro on it. Thats some tuff stuff to break off! I remember the year before last I ripped a rod holder out of the gunnel trying to tow grouper. I dont know if it snagged or if we had a fish on. I cut the line when I saw the reel about to go over. Safety lines are a neccessity on my boat now. Still its hard to beat that kind of fun! Better than working.

I am not sure how deep he was?? I was on a 4 day trip on a party boat out of the Key's to the Dry Tortuga's to get him. he was the pool winner and I made $240 on that guy!! Lots and lots of yellow tails down there.

I got a hold of one those blacks in the gulf down in Florida. Here's a picture of a picture of my fish he was about 22 pounds and he about broke the rod off flush with the rod holder!!!! I was grabbing a beer when the fish hit. Very fun to fight. |

Nice job! I've never caught a legal grouper H/L, but I have been broken off, so I think I know how they feel on the end of the line, lol.

Nice job SSI, way to set the bar high for the V20 fleet. If I could ever put together a crew with a grouper mindset I'd be out there a lot (during grouper season). Seems all my crew wants to do is fish the jetties or ride around in circles offshore trolling. Mention of anything else gets heavily ridiculed and criticized.
