check out the link for a recent trip for Grouper and other bottom dwellers. Lots of fun! Caught Grouper, Snapper, Sea Bass, pesky Sharks, and even a nice flounder in 75-85 feet of water. Would have liked to keep the Snapper. Great time.

Actually, I have a right shoulder injury from adult soccer collision. I keep putting off a trip to the orthopedic doctor. I don't really want to be out of commission for 6 months. I can live with it for now.

Awesome!

If you have a shoulder injury you may want to take up trout fishing before you hurt yourself even worse. I want to get me some electric reels for fishing 125' plus.

What was the biggest one you got?
good deal. Hate to hear that your shoulder is bum but glad it's justifiable! I've seen quite a few people in recent years switching to them with no need and i just find it odd.

I don't believe that the electronic reel helps much with the back. I had to put my whole back into the fight. Left arm had a good workout. Was sore for two days after. Caught 10 good sized grouper, red snapper, shark. Biggest fight was a double hook up on sharks. Unfortunately, the largest of whatever I hooked broke off about half way up. He acted like a grouper, but I'll never know. The largest landed was 31". Several in the 26" to 28" range.
