They can be pretty aggressive taking lures. I caught mine on the fly in Hawaii. They will readily take plastic grubs or even smaller crankbaits.

You know, it would be so much easier if you had simply packed me in your suitcase and taken me along. You can just tell customs I'm your fish encyclopedia.

Hope you have lots of pics to show when you come home! Love to see what else you caught there Please report any really cool catches!

Cheers!

Would have had a cool pic of a huge spiny crab I pulled up out of a hole down into a water cave, but I was too busy shout F**K! and running away when it got off the line and went totally psycho.

In the dark and flashlight beams it looked like something out of John Carpenters The Thing!
