Deformed Grouper

Have an extended Chinese New Year weekend holiday break.. packed my gear and head to the shore. Never expected much as it has been rainin non stop almost everyday of the week..look what i got today...i know its a grouper but then its head doesn't look like one with a hump head, popout eyes, flatten nose and broad mouth. It refuses to lay sideway like most fishes will do on land but kept layin upright as the pic show.. its like tellin me hey what u want with me ya?.. quite scary though lol..

a break from fishing did wonders indeed

Never knew a break from fishing did wonders for my fishing in particular this trip... ya take a month off fishing since i injured my hand . This trip was sweet as i have not hit the water for weeks and the weather was perfect . The water was pristine surprisingly as we got shower the night before. On this particular spot that i was standing on i could see into the water and its surrounding corals within the radius of 20m.

First cast was a Yozuri Tobimaru ocean blue floatin minnow at constant  high speed crankin to test the ground...yield nothin in all cast until the 5th when something slammed into my lure and took it underneath the water and before i could react to the tension of my line with just a few cranks of the handle the fish immediately burst off with my lure. Upon retrieving the line the Alberto's knot between the main and the leader were intact but the end of the leader suggest that there could be a slippage in connection to the lure..

Next comes my Yozuri Crystal Chartreuse suspension minnow... crank,twitch,crank,twitch.. castin over the corals and retreivin across into the coral patch... ya suicide mission as the lure can get snag easily haha.. On my 2nd cast with the lure cuttin across into the coral, i saw it so clearly that a dark shadow came out of the coral and grabbed the lure and dived back in...this time i aint gonna loose it.man...maintain my line tension and slowly pumped in the guy.. :)

Camo Grouper for the day

Pretty decent size hookup near the shore today...another ambusher that turn up from nowhere and slammed into my diving lure just 2 m from where i was standing.. sometimes its really pointless to cast far haha..
