AJs are fun to catch but it does get old, grouper jigging is much more challenging in my opinion and much more rewarding when you actually hook up to a monster. i was happy to catch AJs but after the first few I regretting spending the money i did on special jigs/rods/reels just for AJs as they will readily take many of the cheaper jigs.

Peter define challenging?? LOL We went 70 miles out searching for beasts. Challenging to me is being punished every drop to get a chance at the next which is hopefully a triple digit fish. Grouper jigging definately is tougher with the amount of bites per drop but I was on a hunt and praying the weather held out so I could get another day. Also I found that certain sizes and colors attracted the biggest fish. I was jigging with a 13" jig and consitabtly got some bruisers
