Attack of the groupers!

Monsoon decided to hit a day before we were supposed to head out to the east coast for some light jigging which left me with 2 days void of fish fighting fix. To fill that itch, pond fishing would be the quick and dirty solution. A fishing buddy also recently acquired himself the super-fun ultralight combo tackle consists of the Evergreen Temujin 'The Spider' paired with a Shimano Stella 1000FE. It was a no brainer decision to hit the grouper pond for some stupid fun.

I'll let the pictures speak for itself. Enjoy!
Peek-a-boo - Jackall's TN50 in a compromised position. Taken on the drop!
Another shot of the TN50 in the kisser. Goal keeper grouper.

DUO's Realis Shad 59MR chased & attacked while bumping at the bottom.
Evergreen's Corsair 65 lightly twitched at the bottom was simply irresistible.
DUO's Tetra Works Perakko worked slowly taken without a doubt.
Feisty fella was aiming for the Perakko but missed!
Close call on the hook up and yet landed safely using the Perakko.
Grouper's favourite, Bassday's Nin Sui 6g.
Max fun on the ultralight Evergreen Temujin 'The Spider' & Shimano Stella 1000FE
DUO's Realis Crank M65 11A instantly sucked in digging about at the bottom.
IMA's Issen 45S? check!
Reeled in and landed safely using the lure's original puny fresh water hooks. Says a lot about the rod action and Stella's smooth drag.
DUO's Ikakko snapped up without hesitation, taken on the drop between jigs.
In too deep.
Unrecognisable, Evergreen's PropMagic 75 reeled slowly with occasional flashing twitches.
Head first!
Double whammy, with time to spare for a chat in between.
Evergreen's PropMagic 75 on the left, DUO's MOAB 85F with a twist tail add on.
DUO's MOAB 85F with a twinkle around its tail.
Don't head towards the light! Sucked in deep!
IMA's Ikuri 60 cranked slowly at the bottom.
IMA Ligid 70 in stealth neon colours attacked without hesitation too.

Evergreen Temujin The Spider paired with Stella 1000FE is amazingly deft and powerful at the same time. It was an astounding success "hoi cheong" for this tackle at the grouper pond.

Next, it's time to test this ultra light combo at Exotic ponds hauling up giants....
