That mottled hit my lure three times with three casts in a row, I thought it was a 50cm grouper, then it's a small one! 😅... I will take it! At least my day has started with a fish!! 🤙🏻🎣🎣🎣

A better one (40cm) today, in a cloudy conditions... I tried to balance my lure with a high wave coming towards me, then the lure floated towards the surface of water at a point located above a small creek, this monster jumped from that creek and smashed that poor lure in front of my eyes!! Tight lines all!! 🔥🤙🏻🎣
