The fish, which is called white grouper and belongs to the grouper family, was caught at a depth of 180m. with the jigging technique, between Gramvousa and Antikythera.
He couldn’t believe the eyes of Haniotis who managed to catch a grouper of more than 40 kg that belongs to the grouper family.
The reason for Giorgos Kazoulis, who has fishing as a hobby and as can be seen in the profile he maintains on a social network, all these years that he has been diving in the sea he has brought to the foam large varieties of fish.
The fish was caught at a depth of 180m. with the jigging technique, between Gramvousa and Antikythera.
It is the species epinephelus caninus (white grouper) of the grouper family.
It lives in great depths and reaches a much larger size than the grouper and the grouper.
“The fish was caught with very fine gear, the same gear I usually use for 3-4kg fish. I didn’t manage to weigh the fish, such sizes need a crane to lift them up completely without touching anything”, says Giorgos in a communication that Nea kriti had with him.
He expresses his joy in his post saying the following:
Definitely one of the nicest battles I’ve experienced so far! A few words about the story: Sunday morning 4:00 am. we start from home to reach our distant destination at about 7:00. Early morning, very humid, as if a cloud is stuck 10m above the sea. Conditions in which fish are usually hidden and lazy. We decide to go back to closer spots by one and the weather forecast was out. So let’s go to a familiar spot where I have lost such a fish 3 times in the past, the first time 5 years ago. A ton breaks the crank ball on my “heavy” set and so I am left without “thick” tools. The Shout is the most reliable one I have left to use, aiming for some fishing in the area. One sharp puff and I lose the bait by about a meter. I think he’s a Vlach, but when I get him 15m and hold it as long as I can, he cuts the wool in his teeth. I say with such tools it is futile to try again and we cast 50m + further to try again for fagria. Exactly the same hit and I pull again as fast as possible giving the whole reed metaphor. I say maybe I have a chance if the fish is not too big to get it.A 20 minute battle ensues. Once it surfaced I really couldn’t believe my eyes. The fish was one of the biggest I have ever caught. But the way had left me speechless! Pe 1.5 and 0.43 I kept saying! The fish also had the previous bait in its mouth. Perhaps the experience with fish of the species helped a little, but really the power these tools have is incredible!”
