My wife caught one 16" in front of the racks, she thought it was a large rock bass but it was not, had to put it back so it could grow up. :(

Hey, I don't know why it is so surprising to catch grouper in shallow.....in South Florida they swim right up to the shore and nibble on your toes! :o Seriously though, it's funny that they are shalllow year round on the East Coast....guess it's cause of the shelf. I caught a 19"Gag off of St. Marks 4a this summer......fishing for cobes......I know a guy who has some nice pictures of gags caught and speared on a shelf ESE of St. Marks in 18 feet ....he calls the ledge hammerhead reef....haven't been able to locate it myself but I'm sure it's 4 real.
