I've been working the past few weeks at AMS in Medart.
They are a local marine supply store and bait shop 319. I am learning a lot, especially about the local commercial fishing.
I also see pictures and talk to people about their fishing experiences and all this job does is make my want to fish more.
There is a gentleman that orders special hooks for catching Goliath grouper (jewfish). He studies them for the state of Florida.
I have not met him yet, but I've heard of his tales of the monster Goliath grouper.
He orders 20/0 hooks at the store for them. Basically, the hook is the size of a beer bottle, maybe bigger.
Today, when I came to work, the guys that work at the store showed me these STRAIGHTENED 20/0 hooks. They are estimating the Jewfish must weigh 800 lbs. or so.
Check it out.
Now that would be a battle, or should I say,a losing battle!
