Wrestlin' those grouper, there's no sure outcomes. Last trip, we went 0 for 5 on big grouper hook-ups. Oh, the fish were there, and they were pounding our live bonefish almost immediately on the drop, but getting them into the boat? Ha! A whole 'nother story. Seeing them break a 250 lb. PowerPro main line blew my mind! We did get one we thought we had for sure, started working him up a few cranks at time. When he decided he didn't want to come up and made a run for the bottom - plink! Another main line busted. Unbelievable. So, don't feel lonesome in having the big ones get away!

I think I'm going to go back to the Mexican method of using a handline for them! :fish:
