500-pound goliath grouper eats shark as shocked Florida fishermen watch: 'He just sucked it in'
There's a reason goliath groupers are called the garbage disposals of the sea — they eat everything in sight, including sharks apparently.
A group of fishermen were able to witness a 500-pound grouper's "rare" meal during a fishing trip off the coast of Everglades City, Florida, last week. Suddenly, an open-mouthed giant goliath grouper swam up and gulped the 3-foot-long shark down. http://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/201...ked-it-in.html I have reeled in like a 15 lb. Grouper from 200 feet of water off shore down here and it was like pulling in a bulldozer. This guy was around 500 lbs. They run up to 800 lbs. I would bet their is not a hand held rod and reel that could pull one that big in?

Niqqers for chump, cause they cant swim
Beaner wetbacks can swim so ya have to kill them first before you bait them on hook

I wonder how many meals a 500 pound grouper would give you?

Amazing fish! Perhaps the greatest charge I get from fishing is the moment I'm reeling in a really big one and see a flash of yellow or silver and am trying to figure out what I just hooked... Carp? Catfish? Bass? Pike? Trout?

I've caught grouper in the Gulf before, but nothing like that monster. Damn he ate that shark like it was a piece of popcorn.
