“This was my first Cortez trip for leopard grouper,” said Hoang, “and man, are they violently explosive, like a calico bass on steroids. Button down your drag, hold on tight and reel as hard as possible. The dopamine and adrenaline dump is such a rush. They just fight so hard but they can be gentle giants when landing them. They are a beautiful creature with unique patterns and plenty of attitude.”
“The Sea of Cortez is such a beautiful atmosphere, paradise in my eyes,” Hoang added. “Nice locals, great food and some of the coolest backdrops of the surrounding islands. Definitely a bucket list trip.”
