Big Red Grouper

[buzzard767]

Yesterday was the last day out on the Smokin II before we all head north for the summer. I caught this Red Grouper on dead bait (thread herring). We didn't have a scale on board but he was fat like a Tuna and over 30 pounds without doubt. The biggest I had caught previously was 20 pounds. Great way to end the season.



Fran had me me grill part of a fillet, 7 minutes a side at 500+F



To give you an idea how thick the fillet was. The flakes were nearly a quarter inch thick.

Wow does that ever look good. Mmmmmmmmm
Good catch Buzz. Congrats on your biggest one yet.
Have a safe drive north. Be ready for a drastic weather change. Highs in the 60's for the next few days here in Ohio. Coldest Memorial day weekend EVER.

Sure looks good, Buz. Better than the Ohio River "Tuna" thta Doc will encounter after all this rain. LOL
