Last night my family and I were fishing off the dock for snapper. I've been haunted by a black grouper that has been stealing fish off our lines. I was looking under the dock to see if it was around when I saw something out of the ordinary. It was a Goliath grouper. Just a juvenile but it had to be close to 60 pounds and three feet long. I managed to get it to eat a dead pinfish but failed on the hook set. Hopefully it will come back and give me another try.
Today we went out and the girls were fishing when a 30 or so inch Barracuda came and tried to grab the fish my oldest was reeling in. That was a very surprising sight, and a little scary. We were snorkeling in the canal just a couple days ago. I've rigged up my heaviest rod with 50 pound braid and 66 pound steel wire. I'm ready for anything!
