I landed a 27.70 lbs marbled grouper on a 8 oz hammered diamond jig on the recent 76 hour Big E trip out of Freeport, TX. The current record is 27.65 lbs which is also IGFA world record fish. Even I am qualified for new state record, I am not qualified for IGFA record as I used the rail briefly while fighting the fish.



We caught lots of nice grouper and red snappers daytime and it was all tuna jigging/popping at night.

Here are pictures of yellowfin tuna caught three different popping lures on the first night.

Well, I guess I just learned something here. I really thought tuna were strictly a daytime fish. I thought they were purely a site fish. What was the light in the area like?

Everyone should be familiar with this post I put up. You never know when your next bite will be a record and worth some good sponsorships.

8' rod is a standard on cod party boat in New England for good reasons.
Cod jigging and grouper jigging is similar. You got to bounce bottom to get bites by up and down jigging motion constantly touching bottom.
