the bite is hot hot hot

[gruntking]

well the last two days we have been hitting hard i mean puting in some hours to get the last of the 2013 grouper season so i must i was not disapointed let me tell you wish i could have kept more i mean today alone i must have tossed back ten of them the bite is hot hot hot

[gruntking]

there pretty much 28 all around except one that was 26

[gruntking]

but i dont agree with spearfishing should be rod an reel only if you cant get them that way you shouldnt be on the water

gags all around idk if you can tell but there is another guy in the back one holding the camera i know the laws bud i went out yesterday baged three came home slept for an hour then right back out at it i must have tossed back teen keeper fish around 25 27 inches now that was just me not the others on the boat

hardcore isnt the word when it comes to me wanting to catch fish

[xmarlyx]

nice haul!

[ringonose]

Yeah your a good fishermen for sure.Most people will never get that many groupers. I have to disagree with your comment on spearfishing,it takes more talent to catch a grouper 50 feet down on a single breath of air than catch them on a boat where your safe from the sharks.Trust me GruntKing,most people are not hardcore enough to spearfish and be successful at it.As a spearfishermen your in the fishes territory( a big disadvantage) and you have to be well conditioned in order to not get hurt.If your ever up for a little divetrip let me know and I will take you off the beach 800 yards off the beach for a couple hours(maybe .Let me know!Regardless of your opinion of spearfishing you are doing great as a fisherman!

Miguel I'm an avid spearfisherman, but I can't always find anyone to go out with. I have no idea where Gruntking caught all those groupers, they're tough to catch in Ft Lauderdale (not sure if it's me or the party boat scene or what)...I've had better luck further north or in the keys off bridges when it comes to grouper...but anytime you want to go out off the beach and need a certified FII level one freediver (safety first eh!) for company, let me know, I'm IN! Gurntking, nice catch man! You did all that in Ft Lauderdale, or further south or north?

[swordfish]

Hehe GK is a good fisherman, those are not easy to come by, and from my experience he follows the rules as do most of the regulars that I know here at least. Choice fish, I would love to tangle with one of these puppies on locked drag!


Migue, here is a 62 year old who whoops at spear fishing... Biggest mutton I have seen him take was 112 feet deep and weighed in at 23 lbs! He still does not believe me how deep he was, but I saw it on the fish finder, it was in a hole in the Marquesas Islands that drops from 42 feet to 115 with rock caves all around!

[linh]

That guy is in pretty damn good shape for 62 years old.

[swordfish]

Oh, GK I was not meaning to steal your thunder bud, sorry about the Hijack! Solid fish.

[Poseidon10/31]

Nice fish and JEEZE, that old guy could probably just throw a spear from the boat and hit a grouper 50' down. Lol

[Kingofthesea]

That guy is in pretty damn good shape for 62 years old.

That boy is in pretty good shape for any age.

[swordfish]

Lol that is my uncle, I will let him know he has fans! Yeah, hes been fishing non stop since he was 13, always been his life, that, good genes and no bad habits lol. I cannot unfortunately say the same for myself.

im in the process of building a third lunge once im done i'll go out spearing just for the shts n giggles of it

i smoke no lunges bud

[gruntking]

i keep telling yal rickenbacker holds fish i have no freaking idea why yall dont beleave me i mean chit even poseidon caught a grouper there once

[gruntking]

idk bud i mean i have a bunch of spearguns i bought just for the hell of it but idk if i will ever use them im pretty happy just useing a rod an reel wouldnt want to really clean the sea floors of fish

[swordfish]

It is as simple as that Rare, and not to be a hippie (although I like hippies lol) but meditation and zen help out a lot, the calmer you are, regardless of how you get there, the longer you can last. Next is technique, you must conserve as MUCH energy as possible, which means having a good weight belt, and finally you MUST saturate your lungs before you immerse! I miss it to be honest with you, my uncle handed me 3 gag groupers, we were 200 yards from the boat and he told me that if I lost one I would not get paid for the whole trip lol. This was my introduction to sharks with spear fishing...

I made it unscathed and did not lose any fish, however that was the most intense moments of my life thus far... I was surrounded by 3-4 blacktips who MEANT business, and of course, I could hear him laughing thru the snorkel... He is definitely a character...

i smoke no lunges bud

You are still good. I have a few friends that smoke and can still out due some that don't smoke. Adam quit last year sometime since he started spearfishing & was a chain smoker. This past Sat/Sun when we were out & had no problem going down for lobster. Just got to trained for it

I quit in smoking in Feb took my time training myself but now I can happily freedive 30 - 40ft with bottom time. I'm going to do the Freedive cert in Feb. Plus once you pickup a speargun and get good with it Rod and Reel just don't feel the same.

[GetFish]

Wish I would have got the chance to bag one before tomorrow, but my friend ended up bailing on me.

[gruntking]

my last grouper for the 2013 season now back to grovers an trout

[gruntking]

ive never spent much time overthere because i see way too many ppl always anchored up i mean any day you go over there you can always find like 4 or 5 boats anchored

but seriously tho why would i fish such public places when i have the key to the ocean i mean i feel a bit of a nose just fishing the rick but screw them people they cant cast that far anyways well i just kicked myself in the arse with that one huh but yeah seriously tho i dont like bear cut there isnt much structer on the bottom moslt just mud an grass from what the depthfinder says

[gruntking]

Bear Cut and behind Miami Aquarium are definitely good spots from what my friends tell me.Plenty of grouper and snapper what I hear.If you see many boats there its for a reason,they probably catch fish there often.Personally I rather go on my friends boat offshore since we tend to better than the bay in the boat.Whenever I go Boatless,the Keys and Dania Pier are very productive.

well yeah but beleve it or not i catch alot more in the bay then offshore

from my experience if you usualy see alot of people always anchored in the same area dosent mean there is alot of fish just means its where they all hear the fish are

i have a friend that swears he saw bigfoot once

[swordfish]

LOL. Being confined to fishing on foot, I can tell you with certainty that there is fish all around that area you mentioned, however, it is mostly bonefish, permit and tarpon. My biggest permit on artificials came from there, white bucktail jig at 1am on a VERY cold night!

[phino]

[gruntking]

LOL You are in serious need of punctuation! I'm not sure if I've ever seen you post a comma or period. One line posts are ok, but this is just out of hand...

[gruntking]
