Fishing Pictures - Black and Gag Grouper, Bonus Hogfish

These anglers complained there just wasn't enough time to drink when I took them patch reef fishing. On the first drop, all three were hooked up and the action was non-stop for the duration of the trip. All the fish were caught on 12-pound tackle, including these keeper black and gag groupers, as well as many mutton, yellowtail and mangrove snappers and three keeper hogfish as a bonus. Also caught and released were two goliath groupers, one of which was approximately 40 pounds. Shown L-R: Bob Simmers of Carolina Beach NC, Jack Curry of Danville PA, Ben Stephens, also of Carolina Beach, and deckhand Billy Nelson.
