Daiwa Proteus 80lb class rod, Shimano Speedmaster 16 with 80lb Braid and 20 ft of 80lb test Flurocarbon leader, 5/0 Owner live bait J hook, live mackerel for bait. It sounds a bit of a heavy set up but there 100lb + grouper in the rocks that pop up occasionally. I also use a similar 50lb rig for fly lining live bait...

Thanks. Sounds like a smart setup given what else is swimming down there. Dad took me to Ensenada as a youngster and I got one about the size in your pic, but he had to haul it up on the boat. Bigger than I was. I do recall it ate pretty good.
