It’s no secret that grouper are one of the most popular fish to catch (for their amazing strength and ability to always keep you guessing as they dart under structure), and they are also one of the most popular fish to eat (if you don’t like a good grouper sandwich, then you probably don’t like seafood…)

But one thing I have noticed way to many anglers doing (including myself for many years) is making a grouper rig in a way that is not exactly conservation and money friendly.

What do I mean?

Check out the video to see why leaving the weight tied down on the leader could not only cost you money in tackle, but could easily kill the grouper.

The “old way” of tying grouper rigs with a contained weight is not the most effective or safe way to catch grouper.

Also, stick around until the end of the video as I show a few more tips on the best fishing knots for a grouper rig, and how to tie down your rig while running back to the docks.
