Say hi to salty pond dwellers

Please say hi to some of the salty pond dwellers we usually meet at our regular pay pond. Disclaimer, this is not the produce of a single session but many trips collected over time. Enjoy.

I introduce this MajorCraft MS-X coupled with a pimped up Shimano Metanium. Grouper liked it so much it swallowed the lure.

Another grouper was very eager to meet this pimped up tackle setup.

A quick switch to hard bodied lure also stirred this little fella.
