The classic bottom fish for a lot of anglers is the grouper. Whether red, gag, black, yellowfin,
or Warsaw, a good grouper in the ice chest means a successful day for most folks. Some species of grouper range from New England
to southern Brazil and Texas, and they are common around almost any kind of bottom structure. In southern Florida they inhabit
all of the tropical coral reefs. Grouper will chase a bait occasionally, but their preference is to ambush their prey. Their
coloration and ability to change hues and shades to blend in with their surroundings gives them that ambush capability. It is
this ambush ability that makes them relatively easy to hook, but difficult to land.
