well took my 6/0 and 9/0 up to the bridge last night and put out a couple of grouper heads while the tide was slow. baits sat for about 2 hours then my 9/0 started slowly going off. i walked over but i just figured it was the tide pulling on my bait. it didnt take long before it was singing and i untied my rod and set the hook. fish was on and pulling drap with ease. not 30 sec into the fight my line pops! i pulled line off my reel this morning and found a few bad nicks in my line so had to pull off bout 100 yards worth. next time i will get him! but the fish are there. ive lost some nice fish recently but one of these nights i will get me a nice one. i lost a fish on my 12/0 a few weekends ago on a 40" grouper carcass. my steel leader had a nice bend in it about 2 ft above the hooks. sucks when the hooks pull but like i said ill get em one day. cant catch a fish sitting on the couch goodluck guys
