So Stephanie and I arrive at the south pier around 6pm and meet up with Jason Shawn and Bill, Jason and Shawn soon left after we arrived, they had been there early and caught a couple snapper. I meet with Bill at the end of the pier and we catch a few pin fish, we stop at a grouper marker and fish for about 10 minutes. Has anyone ever caught a 400lb grey grouper? They swim pretty fast. After we feed our fishing baits to the dolphins we move to the shallows were we anticipated some fun night fishing. Tarpon and cobia was what we were fishing for. I slowly let back my JUMBO shrimp and soon get a big thump, I hear quite a few guys tell me that the Shimano Torium 30 won't have enough torque for grouper and the gear ratio is too high. Well we landed a 70lb plus goliath on the torium and it handled it pretty well. Is that a big enough grouper to prove itself? Well I get the fish to the surface at first thinking it was a tarpon and was wondering why it hadn't jumped. I was pretty tired so Bill helped escort the fish to the rocks were he also fought the fish. Thanks Bill! We both get in the water for a few fishing pictures, Bill revives the fish and sends him on his way. Stephanie has to work early so we called it a night shortly after. I will be back tomorrow to beach another poon. Until next time. Goodnight!
