There were some nice red snappers caught and released.
They usually catch mangrove snapper at night and grouper/AJ daytime, but we didn't catch many snappper this time as we fished pretty deep in 160 - 180 ft. OTI rod is great. It cast well, it is strong and it has enough backbone. I brought the rod on the plane so that I could bring two cooler full of fish home this time without extra charge.
I used Saltiga 50. I prefer star drag reels for jigging bottomfish.
