Well let me give you a description of me really quick. I'm 6'6 and slightly built. Ok now, I dropped a live pin down into 120 ft. of water and when it hit the bottom, it took all of 15 seconds to get crushed. That grouper gave me a run for my money. It pulled so hard the handle fell of the 6/0 reel I was using. I had to handline this beast about 80ft. without gloves, just to catch it. That's why I'm particularly proud of this fish.
