OMG!!!

That is a HUGE grouper.

I would love to catch something this size using jig as well.

Cheers,
Edy

I think he was using PE8 and 200lb leader with a 500g jig while jigging at a depth of over 200m

Ye Gods MarkR,

Thats not a Tong Gas, its a damned 50 gallon drum..... amazing what you can catch on jig these days... Whats even more amazing is that the angler managed to bring that monster up in 600ft of water.... wonder how long it took him....

Thanks for the post, gawd it makes the "Tong Gas" we catch here look like camping gas canisters...

Yo Saimee

Seems like the Tong Gas's love eating metal! My friend in Bali landed a 100kg+ specimen in Bali some time ago

The rod the angler used was a Medusa Custom Work's Southern Deep Ultimate Monster

tight lines
