agreed with GTB,

another few reiminder..

I saw peoples taking groupers up to 18kg from the holes deeper that 30 meters...

Equipment you need....

1-)Main gun for first shoot, preferably longer in length if you have cnahce to find them out of the hole...I still can use my 110 for most of the holes. 6.5mm shaft will work 7mm may be little better but slow for opean area shoots.

2-)Second gun, 75cm will be fine for second shoots or for the place where you can not reach with your main gun.

3-)Good torch, i heavily recommend OMER Moonlight elite or recharable, they are very powerfull for big and dark caves and they are so powerfull that you don't need to enter the cave to see the fish you can see it from outside and take a shoot without scaring the fish (best opprtunity for solid head shoot), just don't get too close and light it, in SOME cases the powerfull beam MAY scare the fish so it turns her ass to you . Another great feature of this torch is magnetic switch, so you will not forget it in on state

4-)Spare shaft without FLOPPER to make repeated shoots to head to kill the fish.

5-)Hook, will help you to get the fish out when she opens the gills in the cave

6-)Grouper Buoy, if the grouper don't want to come out no matter what, tie this little buoy to the band of the gun (that will act like a shock absorber) and wait her to die.... by the way be sure to use reel for all of the guns.

7-) tool to release stucked shafts.

In most cases you can get them out with the half equipment i wrote above.

GOLDEN RULE for groupers,

If you don't have solid head shoot opportunity don't shoot, wait a little so grouper moves in other positions or left her for next time. Hovewer if you shoot to the mid body be prepare for battle. Don't push yourself too much which will cause shallow water blackout, but make several dive and work slowly on them...
