 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.

I bet that would do it. LOL To make matters worse, a lot of times we are trolling not far from where we could be bottom dropping.......and to make those matters even worse, sometimes the trolling bite is slow or non-existent. Sure would be nice to be able to switch it up.

Crew must follow captains orders. Those who refuse must walk the plank!

I agree.....
Blue, next time you hand them a bottom rig and if they give you the "what's that fer?" face, hand them a scrub brush and ask them again which one they want

I think that may be the reason they don't like bottom fishing - I don't supply the rods. I'm not much of a hand-holder when it comes to taking other adults fishing. We get out there and their snoopy poles with 10 lb mono won't accomodate enough weight to hit the bottom on the drift and hard for them to reel in. AKA they bring a knife to a gun fight. I figured they would learn after the first couple times....but I guess they aren't paying attention. LOL Taking my 15 y.o. nephew and his friends is a different story. They actually pay attention and listen when told to do something.
