As he's nearby, of course he go whack and pump the fish. Then when the fish up the boat 'bee hooning' alot of lines... then we notice the grouper caught by my rig. Grouper took my bait, sangkot his line therefore his rod bend. My rod didn't move abit. They all laughing at me. My rod kenna fish yet another fisho(1st pic) fight the fish all the way up In the end, I share half the fish with the fisho. I took the tail part giving him the head. cheers
