Left the dock at 6:00am to skull crush some grouper. Took 2 hours to get a couple hundred cigar minnows which doesn’t happen much. The blue runners were so thick you couldn’t keep a rig on. Busted through through 20 or so sabikis and ran to some bottom numbers we got. Dropped for 30 minutes without a grouper and then I had one smoke mine. 34" scamp comes up and it was on son. Next fish was of course a 40+lb cobia that we watched swim away. Wish it coulda seen the box. After that we had either side of the boat catching grouper steady. Caught 10 good ones from that hole and then found another spot while we were drifting. Brought out Mr.Electric and caught three 27" scamps in a row. Said lets try something new and put a big blue runner down there. Rod bent over and I put the speed on him. Mr.Electric had a 250lb lemon shark next to the boat in a minute 30. That thing is awesome! The bite turned off for about an hour and picked back up around 2:00. Caught 3 more scamps and decided to count what we had in the box. Two of us agreed we had 17 grouper so of course we had to top off a 6 man limit. Caught one more and called it a day. Ended up miscounting and finished with 17, didn’t matter too much though haha. Ran out at 53 - Ran in at 50. Back at dock at 4:00. Another great day for us on the grouper.

I love taking girls fishing. Gives me an excuse to kill more grouper and it’s a good view.
