Well it's been a long time coming... after putting in some serious mahi deep water slow pitch jigging, I've landed the chunky grouper I was chasing. I always thought a bass would be a species it would take a long time to catch, and I would have to be in some seriously deep water to achieve that, but what do you know, the magic has happened, and in relatively accessible waters! It always pays to have a line wet.
