I wondered why outboards weren't being equipped with gps positioning yet. That absolutely is a game changer for boats too big for the trolling motor solution. It can be a bit finicky at times. You have to determine the drift and align the boat properly or it will not work. I’d say it works about 90% of the time when you get it set properly.

Those props don't swivel around like a trolling motor can.

Another great catch! Had a feeling you would be posting up some big AJ's. For the grouper, do you prefer big live bait or big dead bait? thanks It varies. A big fish will eat a small bait but not the other way around. You just have to offer a buffet of various baits to see what they want that day. With that being said, the best bait you can use is the ones you catch on the spot. Send down a chicken rig and catch whatever small fish are on the bottom and send him right back down and hold him a few feet off the bottom. If you notice, when fishing for those small fish, they will rarely swim off the bottom to eat a bait. The reason being, they’re scared of getting eaten. So make him hover in the “death zone”.

Did you get rid of the big boat and charter business? Yes. I learned a lesson on that one. I will never have another business unless I will be the one doing it. I sold that boat last year and got a Grady White 336 Canyon. It is a great boat and has one feature that absolutely allows you to kill fish which is set point. Push a button and the engines hold the boat on the spot. That’s a damn fine boat Cal. Hellofva a catch too!

Heck yeah! I bet he enjoyed that! I caught a 24 pounder a couple of years ago and it was like trying to reel up a Volkswagen. Good times there Cal!
