Dear Amir,

It is as Abdul Latif has put it. Grouper a.k.a. Hamour a.k.a. Ghisser is a bottom dwelling fish. When hooked, it heads straight towards cover, especially holes in rocks and reefs, where it either cuts you off or if it manages to enter a hole, it inflates its gills and becomes almost impossible to be pulled out. All you can do is slacken your line and wait until it feels secure enough to leave the hole. Alternately, you can try irritating it by making the line as taut as possible and plucking on it as on a guitar.

As far as how good or bad it fights, it is true once you are able to stop the hamour in its first rush and pulled is some way towards the boat, it does not put up much of a fight, but it is always a tough fish to subdue on or around structure.

Just my 0.02 :-)

Cheers,
Ijlal
