Gut Wrench grouper slaying 8-30-08

Gut Wrench · 08-31-2008, 03:26 PM

since the trolling bite sucks,we will be bottom fishing the next few trips,if they all go like this it would be unbelievable.

14 scamps,1 gag grouper 18-20 lbs,1 11lb speckled hind,3 dolphin..to many huge AJ's to keep track of.

we could have limited on scamps for a 6 man crew but that would have be stupid,so we left with the scamps still hungry.

the ocean and fishing was awesome,not many days go like this..

we were deep 280-310 ft,live pin fish was the bait of choice.

with all the hurricane activity this maybe the last trip for a few weeks.

as pictures get emailed to me i will post them..

Nice catch, I read where he got a hold of your finger in his mouth as well? They do clamp down.

Very nice catch in that deep water. I see that sticker on your boat of a 118 lbs Cubera... That baby must have given you a workout. What depth was it caught in?
