Ft Lauderdale Fishing, 25lb Black Grouper on 80lb Rod

Greg and Eric recently relocated to Sunny South Florida from the Carolinas and wanted to try deep sea fishing in Fort Lauderdale for the first time. Trolling and pulling live bait around the reef attracted two King Mackerel within minutes. After our little “pop,” fishing slooooowed down on the troll and we moved on to wreck fishing. As soon as we spiced things up we got a monster bite and Greg jumped into the fighting chair with zero hesitation, he was ready to fight! Greg landed a beautiful 30 lb Black Grouper, we took some pictures and released him back into the big blue because it’s not season. They didn’t get to keep him but they did get to see what those fish fight like!
