I once caught a bass that big on a beetle spin.

Oh yeah. well I caught a bass that big on a trout fly and 2lb test 8-)

That's what I call a fish.

Do the math and it's like catching a 10# bass on 8# line.........yeh right.  That grouper has some shoulders.

I think it is a tad obese

 That kind of beats my 41 pound black grouper caught in 200' of water on #30 mono.

Nothing shabby about a 40# grouper

I'd take one any day of the week
