Broken rods aren’t going to stop this angler from catching the goliath grouper he has on the line!
Ben Chancey was fishing on an Ultraskiff in the Atlantic Ocean off the east coast of Florida when he hooked an absolute unit of a goliath grouper. Both Ben and the fish put up one hell of a fight, but the goliath grouper came ready for a fight and snapped his fishing rod in half.
You wouldn’t be wrong if you think this sounds like the beginning of a Moby Dick level fish tale – it’s close, but not how you’d think.
The Goliath grouper came ready to win the battle. Ben Chancey came ready to win the war.
With broken rod in hand, Ben swivels, pivots and cranks until he hauls in that monster Goliath grouper that did everything it could to escape.
