Goliath Grouper (Jewfish) by the Tons!
January 22, 2009 Life in the Ocean 1 CommentAfter posting the cool video of divers interacting with a big Goliath Grouper about a week ago, and after reading a heated debate thread on ScubaBoard questioning the need to reopen the Goliath Grouper fishery in the United States, I starting searching YouTube and found this amazing video taken near Jupiter, Florida in September of 2008. Spear fishermen were swimming a local reef and came upon an entire school of these gigantic fish. There must be 30 to 50 of these monsters, most as large as 400 pounds. Take a look at this video and you will see that, regardless of the past prospects of this species in Florida, they are making a big come-back now.
