Hi Treatiesalways, I can appreciate your compassion for the fish. By the time this fish surfaced from 900', he was dead. We do send back many fish using descending devices, and you will see that often on our channel teaching others how to release fish the best way possible using these devices. I can assure you that not a single piece of that fish went to waste. After our team grabbed what they wanted to fead their families, we gave the remainder to the Police and Firefighters located behind our shop.

@@JohnnyJigsTV Appreciated your reply. In NZ we are big on catch and release and only take what you need for a feed. Those big giants isn’t something I’d be interested in targeting if the likelihood of killing them in ascent is high. That’s where recreational fisherman can have detrimental impact, as I can’t imagine numbers of giant grouper is massively high. Thanks for replying. Otherwise enjoy your fishing channel but big groupers are another story. All the best.
