Alright! The guy that think/fishes outta the box scores!
Where'id that method come from?
I saw David Choate/Wahoodad do it 3 years ago. I was surprised that you could fish for Grouper with a flylined bait but they come up for the big baits that are struggling. Last year I gave it a try and caught a 103# grouper. When a small YT/YT/Skipjack comes on board the crew asks if anyone wants a grouper bait. On this last trip one other guy gave it a go but didn't get anything.

Those Mustad 39960DT 20/0 hooks are the real deal for big Grouper.  They make an even heavier duty 39937NP-DT for big sharks that come in both a 20/0 and 27/0!  We attach a small hook to them that is put in the back of the bait just in front of the dorsal fin.
